Willer EMSH World Without War Produced from If Worlds of Science Fiction September 1954. Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "World Without War" by E. G. Von Wald is a science fiction narrative probably written in the mid-20th century. The story explores a future where people live in manufactured bodies, raising questions about identity, cooperation, and the necessity of social order in a world devoid of war. The narrative centers around themes of personal relationships, societal norms, and the consequences of cooperation among humans. The story follows Mark, who is late for Jennette's birthday party after a fatal encounter while navigating the skies in his aircar. Mark's existential struggles unfold as he grapples with his identity, the concept of using protobodies, and his strong feelings for Jennette. The dialogue emphasizes a conflict between their manufactured lives and the desire for genuine connection, revealing their discontent with a system that discourages natural human interaction and emotions. As they flirt with the idea of a "marriage agreement," they confront the fear that fostering such relationships could lead to chaotic cooperation, reminiscent of the era when wars were fought by large groups of people. In the end, while Mark and Jennette’s bond hints at rebellion against societal norms, they ultimately choose to conform to the existing social order.
