Give Me Liberty by Mark Tier

Description: Liberty is a recurring theme in science fiction, a genre that offers visions of societies and worlds free of state controls. Give Me Liberty is a collection of science fiction stories, handpicked by editors Greenberg and Tier for libertarian content.

There's Vernor Vinge's "The Ungoverned," telling how the Republic of New Mexico, expecting a walkover, invaded the peaceful anarchy in Kansas, only to find no government, no army, no defense - but a very big surprise! Eric Frank Russell's classic "And Then There Were None" tells how an imperialistic invader searches desperately for a government to take over - and ends up losing its troops instead.

And there's lots more. How a seemingly innocuous invention might have brought on the collapse of the Soviet Union many years earlier. How the world might change if only you could buy a gun that fired in self defense.

Eight great stories by great writers.
