“The world is full of people, but how many of them think?” — C. M. Kornbluth What if the future belonged to the foolish—and the intelligent became a forgotten minority? In The Marching Morons, C. M. Kornbluth delivers a chillingly prophetic satire where intelligence is rare, and idiocy reigns supreme. Written in 1951 but more relevant than ever, this short story envisions a world where unchecked population growth, mindless media, and consumer culture have created a dystopia of willful ignorance. Only one man from the past holds the key to saving humanity—or controlling it. Darkly humorous, disturbingly plausible, and razor-sharp in its critique, The Marching Morons is a must-read for anyone questioning where our world might be heading.
