The inhabitants of Poictesme are searching for the advanced military computer that's said to have been hidden there during the last war. Conn Maxwell, just returned from studying on Earth, has learned enough to be sure it never existed. Fortunately he has another plan to help his planet's failing economy.
Expanded from the 1958 novelette "Graveyard of Dreams"
