The invention of a low-cost matter duplicator eliminates material scarcity while triggering global economic collapse and a dystopian slave economy.

When inventor Partick Doyle distributes blueprints for the "Gizmo"—a portable machine capable of duplicating any physical object at negligible energy cost—human society undergoes immediate disintegration. With money, manufacturing, and trade rendered worthless overnight, physical power becomes the sole currency.

The story follows young Dick Ellis as he navigates a brutal post-scarcity world where warlords establish neo-feudal mountain strongholds built entirely on human enslavement and military control.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Damon Knight explores the dark economic paradoxes of absolute post-scarcity, social satire, and human nature. An essential 1972 Fawcett paperback for classic speculative fiction and dystopia readers.
