REPRIEVE FROM PARADISE

WHICH SIDE WOULD YOU JOIN?

THE HEIRARCHY?--Here you get fed and have your choice of mates; and you're never out of a job. But it is a static and sterile state. Live by and on the soil, and avoid what almost destroyed the world.

OR

THE REBELS?--Eager enquirers; they have rediscovered and redeveloped Atomic Power and not only believe they know how to handle it but insist on all sharing it; even if this possibly means another catastrophic Atomic War.

SCENE: Earth.
TIME: 40th Century.
PLOT AND SUB-PLOT: After World War #3 ... the Armegeddon of myth finally became too awfully true. The survivors, pitifully few, crawled out of their holes and surveyed their wrecked world. The age-old centers of civilization were utterly destroyed ... along with their shining technical advances ... which stopped tragically short of the stars. The few comparatively untouched areas were forgotten and unimportant islands nestled quietly across the far-flung Pacific;--and parts of the Antarctic; where costly bombs were not directed.
