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 and 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.
