       So are the covetous eyes China casts on Australia, although the   
       means by which New People's Asia hopes to gain Australia is a   
       bit unusual: not conquest, but a simple utilitarian argument   
       (with supporting evidence) that Australia would be better off   
       as part of New People's Asia. The flaw in the approach is that   
       Man Plus' Australians may be more racist than greedy.   
      
   Abstention is best when given a choice to exclusively worship either   
   Phobos (god of fear, whose domain includes xenophobia) or Mammon.   
      
   The commencement of my Milton PARADISE LOST hearing already hit pay   
   dirt with the SPACE SEED episode of Star Trek: TOS. The thing unearths   
   a Milton motherload and mentions him in its denouement. Your review   
   leaves me with the impression this Pohl may follow a similar vein.
