Max Lerner surveys a wave of political novels blending future settings with advanced technology. He argues the core is power and moral choice, naming Burdick-Wheeler Fail-Safe, Ian Stuart The Satan Bug, Henry Brinton Purple-6, and Knebel-Bailey Seven Days in May as prime examples. He coins the term overskill or annihilation fiction and praises Fail-Safe for its rigorous logic despite overstatement.
