Cyril M. Kornbluth - Search the Sky (Sci-Fi Classic) краткое содержание
Halsey's Planet is in decline, and when a generation ship arrives, having failed to contact six other planets, Ross is sent to discover the state of the interstellar colonies. He is given a ship which can make the trip from colony to colony almost instantaneously. The technology used in the ship has been kept secret because it could give rise to interstellar war if one colony decided to conquer others. However, the isolated populations are also affected by genetic drift resulting in a decline in their societies.

"The Marching Morons" is a look at a far future in which the world's population consists of five billion idiots and a few million geniuses – the precarious minority of the «elite» working desperately to keep things running behind the scenes. «The Marching Morons» is a direct sequel to «The Little Black Bag»: it is easy to miss this, as «Bag» is set in the contemporary present while «Morons» takes place several centuries from now, and there is no character that appears in both stories....
A future North America is divided between rival criminal gangs the Syndic on the East Coast and the Mob in Chicago, who have driven the federal government into exile in Iceland, Ireland and other North Atlantic islands. Life has more or less returned to normal in Syndic territory – as long as protection money is paid on time. The rest of the world has collapsed into either peasant life or tribalism.
