Series of loosely connected stories stemming from his 1954 \"The Midas Plague.\" The only previously unpublished story, \"The Fire-Bringer\" (1-4), serves as an introduction This is followed by 1954 Pohl, \"The Midas Plague\" (5-74). The other stories then depict aspects of the future of the world created in that story. \"The Servant of the People\" (75-97) is about a Congressman (Congress hold interactive electronic meetings with no one physically present) running against a robot. \"The Man Who Ate the World\" (98-137) is about a compulsive consumer when the need to consume is long past. \"The Farmer on the Dole\" (138-75) is about giving redundant robots new jobs, in this case as a mugger who can only mug other robots. \"The Lord of the Skies\" (176-244) is about life in orbital habitats that draw their power from Earth, whose ecology has been destroyed by the need to send power to the habitats. \"The New Neighbors\" (245-76) is about the future destroyed world now inhabited almost entirely by robots.

Dystopia. The development of effective fusion power means that anything can be produced cheaply and the human race goes on a production and consumption binge. Over time consumption does not keep up with production, and laws are passed to require consumption. This results in a status system in which the poor must consume at a higher rate than the rich. The story is about a poor man who solves the problem by creating robots that can both produce and consume.
