What Mad Universe is a science fiction novel, written in 1949 by the American author Fredric Brown. It satirizes many of the conventions of American "pulp" magazine science-fiction of the 1940s, while incorporating such stereotyped elements into a coherent alternate universe, valid on its own terms.
