Summary "Appointment in Tomorrow" by Fritz Leiber is a science fiction short story originally published in the early 1950s. The narrative explores complex themes surrounding morality, the role of intellect in society, and the implications of advanced technology in a post-apocalyptic world. Set against the backdrop of a war-torn America, it delves into the dynamics between various factions of scientists and thinkers after World War III, reflecting on the nature of human ambition and the moral ambiguities of using intellect for power. The story revolves around Jorj Helmuth, a member of the Thinkers' Foundation, and his interactions with various characters, including politicians and rival scientists. As the plot unfolds, Helmuth's ambition and the machinations of the Thinkers are challenged by Willard Farquar, a physicist disillusioned by the manipulation and deceit within the elite circles. Tensions rise as Farquar aims to expose the charlatanry of the Thinkers, who have built a superintelligence named Maizie to alter the course of humanity. Themes of trust, betrayal, and the quest for knowledge intertwine as characters navigate their personal ambitions amidst a society desperate for salvation, culminating in a struggle that questions the very values that govern their lives.
