Scanners Live in Vain, obviously. Unfortunately I think it's probably his best single story, so you may find yourself chasing the dragon a bit when you go through the rest of his writing.

Op here,
I liked the story, although the modulation, from the sentimental weight of the beginning to the happiness of the end, was too accelerated for my taste.
(still good though)

I always liked the psychological insight of The Crime and the Glory of Commander Suzdal.

>While retaining his professorship at Duke after the beginning of World War II, Linebarger began serving as a second lieutenant of the United States Army, where he was involved in the creation of the Office of War Information and the Operation Planning and Intelligence Board. He also helped organize the army's first psychological warfare section. In 1943, he was sent to China to coordinate military intelligence operations. When he later pursued his interest in China, Linebarger became a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek. By the end of the war, he had risen to the rank of major.
