Synopsis
Conflict: a basic human instinct, helping humankind evolve even while threatening the very existence of the species... an instinct that will be as much a part of the future as it is now and always has been. For all the glories of war -- the defeat of evil, the promise of freedom, justice, protection of the innocent, the righting of wrongs, technological innovation, heroism -- there are also the horrors: individual grief, mass destruction, the elimination of entire cultures and great achievments, injustice, villainy, the annihilation of the innocent, and pain beyond bearing. WAR & SPACE offers the ultimate speculation on the future of warfare-stories of insectoid anguish, genetically-engineered diplomats who cannot fail, aliens plundering humanity, a weaponized black hole -- scenarios of triumph and defeat, great heroism and vile depravity... and more.
