Yeah, sure... Enjoy the ...

A civilization of cyborgs, AI driven units in an expanding, circular wave, carefully harvesting only the warm planets like Earth, in a rapidly growing flat plane right toward Earth itself. It will take the combined minds of man and AI alike to stop the scourge, before it is too late...

Is this the world we are heading for on Earth? Could be. Now they ...

Life is cheap in the mid-twentieth century, true for most explorers of that era.
