In “Childhood’s End” by Arthur C. Clarke, I believe that he invented the “force multiplier” idea, when a character asked the question, what is the more powerful weapon - an atomic bomb or a tiny insect-sized robot that flies in the ear of an enemy leader and drives him mad hearing voices all day and night, or words to that effect.

So, what happens when these things are mass-produced and cost $100?
