The '''State Science Institute''' (fl. 2004-2020), in [[Ayn Rand]]'s [[novel]] ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]'', was the government-run laboratory nominally directed by [[Robert Stadler]] but actually directed, in [[Niccolo Machiavelli|Machiavellian]] fashion, by [[Floyd Ferris]]. It figures most prominently in three connections: a meretricious report on the merits of [[Henry Rearden#Rearden Metal|Rearden Metal]], the construction of the infamous [[Project X]], and finally the construction of Project F, essentially a [[torture]] chamber where [[John Galt]] was briefly examined under duress until its electroshock generator failed.
