The Psychotechnic League
A collection of Psychotechnic League stories.
In the beginning was World War III...
Out of the flames was born a new civilization, a new humanity dedicated
to one world rather than to many nations, to one peace rather than many
wars. Never again on Planet Earth would one group of humans "defend"
themselves against another group equally convinced that all their
actions were "defensive." Never again on Planet Earth.
But cycles repeat themselves endlessly; Earth is only the beginning of
the human story. Next comes planet against planet, and then the stars
themselves. Through it all the impersonal forces of historical
necessity will tend to force that story into the pathways of tyranny,
stasis, and war. And in the end they must prevail. But ever will
humankind win free once more...
