Psychotechnic League
Poul Anderson & John Gergen · 2 novels · 6 novellas · 8 novelettes · 7 short stories · 6 collections · 1949–2018
The Psychotechnic League is Poul Anderson's earliest future history, tracing humanity's recovery from a devastating third world war under the guidance of a scientific institute trying to steer civilization away from repeating its mistakes, and eventually expanding into interstellar exploration. Anderson wrote it before his better-known Technic History and later adjusted its internal chronology to fit later work; it has been collected across several anthologies, including a three-volume Complete Psychotechnic League set.
