What’s it like to be actually invisible? That’s the question explored in Memoirs of an Invisible Man, an acclaimed book written by H.F. Saint (who subsequently disappeared in a less literal way, apparently retiring after the book’s success). With 450 pages, the book details the actual dilemmas and obstacles one average man encounters after accidentally being turned invisible. He can’t see himself, so hand-eye coordination becomes difficult; he sees food getting chewed and digested, disgusting him so much that he begins only ‘eating’ broth. That’s the least of his issues, though, as he’s being hunted by government men who want to study him and use him as a military weapon.
