Synopsis for "Harry Twenty on the High Rock"[]
Warden Worldwise tries to hypnotise Harry with an electronic model of the Earth and the High Rock. Harry resists the hypnotism by trying to attack the Warden, and is knocked out by Chief Thrower's electro-prod. When he recovers he visits the library, which contains works by H. G. Wells and lots of copies of 2000 AD (including progs numbering higher than 300). While copying details of space missions onto a napkin from the dining hall he is assaulted by Big Red One. Harry isn't too bothered about being punched out of his seat, but is worried that the librarian, Twenty-One Toady, will see what's on the napkin and "sing to the Warden."
