K-Factor

K-Factor

by Harry Harrison

In a future where humanity has conquered space and colonized countless planets, the threat of war has seemingly vanished. Peace reigns, but at a cost. 'K-Factor' explores a society where scientific advancements have been harnessed to create a perfect balance – an equilibrium where violence is impossible, and individual passions are subdued. The narrative delves into the ethical implications of this manufactured peace, challenging readers to consider if true harmony can exist without free will, and what price humanity is willing to pay for a world devoid of conflict.
