"Sam Hall" is a science fiction novelette by Poul Anderson, first published in Astounding Science Fiction in August 1953.In a future society where citizens' lives are monitored by a vast computer network, Thornberg, feeling rebellious because of his nephew's arrest and upcoming sanctions on an already oppressed populace, decides to create a fictitious rebel named after a drinking song. Sam Hall, as he's known, quickly becomes a bogeyman to the government, who expend an increasing amount of effort trying and failing to find him. Thornberg's private rebellion soon grows and gains supporters, and soon the collapse of the dystopian society is imminent—all because of one man's effort.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The story can be read for free on the Internet Archive. | |

Dystopia Is Hard | |
| Sam Hall / int_83f43ca9 | comment |
Dystopia Is Hard: The dystopian government collapses because of all the resources they expend trying to track down the titular malcontent who managed to get cross-referenced with a police report. The effort they expend to track him down increases as every effort they expend to find him fails, and the reason they can't find him is because he doesn't actually exist. | |
