The Planet Buyer by Cordwainer Smith
A naive heir from the reclusive, wealth-producing world of Norstrilia—famed for its life-extending drug stroon—ventures into the wider galaxy and becomes entangled in fraud, pursuit, and political intrigue. Stripped of his protections, he is aided by an underperson whose loyalty and cunning reveal the moral blind spots of the Instrumentality that rules humanity. Part space-opera adventure, part social satire, the story probes identity, exploitation, and the human costs hidden beneath a veneer of civilizational order.
