A book of important warnings. Szilard was one of the physicists on the Manhattan project who worried about the political effects of having built the atomic bomb.
This is science fiction as a way to think about society. Each of the stories contemplates how the world might look in a few plausible futures: How anthropologists from other cultures would view the earth after a nuclear war killed all the people; How science was organized; and so on.
