I read a short story, decades ago, in a series of books called "There Will Be War." The story was about a civilization that attacks earth and is utterly defeated by the humans in short order. In the story, most civilizations quickly discover faster-than-light travel and rapidly move on to exploring their galaxies, but humans were stuck on stupid and instead sharpened their war fighting skills; so when the aliens attacked us they were basically using 16th century weapons and tactics, with their only superiority being in space travel. The story ends with some captured aliens realizing they had just handed the secrets to space travel to the most warlike species in the galaxy.
“There will be War”
Interesting.
I’ll look it up.
The problem I have with most fiction writers is this desire they have to describe their characters and the setting in order to create an impression. It’s all fake.
Read that one, a good short story.
By Phillip K. Dick, I believe.
The “There will be war” series is back in Ebook form!
THAT would not only be a good movie, but the start of a good series.
