In a future Earth, alien 'hoppers' enforce a feudal society, banning science, as a duke's heir fights back.
About
Details
One is a short version of The War of the Worlds and the other is a bizarre, political satire with the strange claim of probably being the only SF work featuring the A.S.M.E (American Society of Mechanical Engineers). It's interesting to contrast the author's writing style to Robert Heinlein's, after the first few years, Heinlein settles into his style of writing and doesn't change it much for the next 30+ years.
