Gulf (novella)
''Gulf'' is a novella by Robert A. Heinlein, originally published as a serial in the November and December 1949 issues of ''Astounding Science Fiction'' and later collected in ''Assignment in Eternity''. It concerns a secret society of geniuses who act to protect humanity. The novel ''Friday'', written in 1982, was loosely a sequel.
==Story==
The story postulates that humans of superior intelligence could, if they banded together and kept themselves genetically separate, create a new species. In the process they would develop into a hidden and benevolent "ruling" class. The story invokes the notions of the General Semantics of Alfred Korzybski and the work of Samuel Renshaw to explain the nature of thought and how people could be trained to think more rapidly and accurately; critics have said that both systems are misrepresented and never claimed the kinds of results shown in the story. The material on human intelligence and self-guided evolution is intermixed with a more standard "secret agent" adventure story.
