520			_aSummary: "Since the beginning of recorded history war has been a blight upon our species. And looking at current military technology it seems likely that our warmaking proclivities will flourish in the twenty-first century. British physicist and science writer, David Langford, spells out the progressive sophistication of armaments from the slingshot to the neutron bomb, military hardware and software of future wars in space. He examines such science-fiction concepts as planet- busters, deathrays, ecological wars, climate control and even bionic people able to become part of possibility of colonization and of encounters with aliens of a higher technological order, elsewhere in the Universe. WAR IN 2080 presents a grim and frightening picture of a future world- which none of us can afford to ignore." - Publisher
