NATURAL STATE was, in the nature of science fiction synergy, influential upon the works of A.J. Budrys, Poul Anderson and other writers who dealt with political relations as inextricably linked to biological and economic motives, and like much of Damon Knight's work, it is suffused with a kind of cynicism, even despair, which overshadow or lurk behind the progression and apparent solution.

Knight sees no salvation in the indiscriminate application of technology. The ravaged landscape of this story does not propose a future in which either side could expect to live comfortably. Knight's misanthropy is evident throughout; it is a misanthropy emergent from his conviction that in the face of technology great damage will be done, no matter who "wins" the struggle… (més)
