Superiority by Arthur C. Clarke - Published in Fantasy and Science Fiction magazine in August 1951. “Superiority” is a sharp and cautionary tale about technological overreach and its consequences in warfare. Set in a future space conflict between two rival factions, the story is told from the perspective of a defeated military officer recounting how his side lost the war, despite having superior technology. The essence of the story revolves around the idea that relying too heavily on cutting-edge, untested advancements can lead to downfall. The side with “superior” technology introduces numerous innovative but unproven weapons systems, believing these advancements will guarantee victory. However, the complexities and issues that arise from implementing these new technologies—delays, breakdowns, and unforeseen complications—ultimately cause their defeat. Clarke’s tale serves as a critique of the blind faith in technological progress without considering practical limitations and human factors, making it a timeless reflection on hubris, particularly in the context of military and industrial strategy.Show book

Milne's observation of children's behavior shows in such poems as "Disobedience" (Where has James Morrison's mother gone?), "Jonathan Jo" (who has everything you may need and only wants a smile as payment!), and "At The Zoo" (where you can find biffalo-buffalo-bisons and bidgers, badgers, and bodgers!) Each sweet and silly poem is written with the rhythm and rhyme that young children love.
