Published more than 60 years ago, this dark and prescient story of a future devolved to idiocy remains one of the most frightening visions to have emerged from the science fiction of that decade. Envisioning a future United States overwhelmed by a citizenry of low IQ (a consequence of the overbreeding of the stupid) Kornbluth was in fact writing of an observed present. The steady, inexorable descent of human intelligence obsessed Kornbluth, was one of his major themes and reached its truest statement in this novelette. The secret masters of Kornbluth’s future are a small population of the intelligent who in subterranean fashion run the country but the “marching morons” overwhelm them and they summon a cynical entrepreneur from the past to help them deal with the dilemma. Weak on technology (a time machine is employed scoop the entrepreneur into their present) the novelette is deadly accurate in its portrait of a society sunk in stupid television, ornate, worthless automobiles and catchphrases which substitute for thought. The denouement is absolutely uncompromising and its utter bleakness is refractory not of a speculative future (which it may well be) but a present which Kornbluth found omnipresent and unbearable. In terms of social statement and extrapolation THE MARCHING MORONS stands with Orwell’s 1984 or Forster’s THE MACHINE STOPS as shattering anatomization of an inevitable future.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Cyril Kornbluth (1924-1958) was the youngest and perhaps the most brilliant of that great group of satirists (Frederik Pohl, Robert Sheckley, Damon Knight, William Tenn) whom Horace Gold drafted to become the characteristic voice of his magazine. Kornbluth was a child prodigy (writing at 16 stories which became classics of the field) and auto-didact, first-generation fan and newspaperman (a Chicago-based wire service) whose heart and health were wrecked by active combat duty at the Battle of the Bulge and other venues; after the war he became a fully committed science fiction writer who moved from journalism in Chicago to a career in the New York area. In collaboration with Frederik Pohl he wrote THE SPACE MERCHANTS (1952) for GALAXY which became the classic satirical novel of advertising and GLADIATOR-AT-LAW which brought the same satirical force to the housing industry. There were several other novels, science fiction and mainstream, written with Pohl, two with Judith Merril and several (TAKEOFF, NOT THIS AUGUST) written alone. He struggled for years with health, economic and familial obligations (he was married to a sculptress and had two young sons) and died suddenly on a train platform, sprinting for a New York bound train in March 1958. A recent (2009) biography by Mark Rich gives much detail about his painful life and brilliant career.

A Masterpiece
By Donna L. Pohlman
A masterpiece of prophesy and satire that has come all too true. Much science fiction of this era has become dated. Kornbluth keeps his punch. 'Tis even better than THE SPACE MERCHANTS or GLADIATOR AT LAW, two products of his teamup with Pohl. No one writes like this now, I suspect, because it is hard to satirize the a world so absurd that you can't write of anything more moronic. Kornbluth died too early. One wonders if his wit would have grown and maybe soured. But that's fine. Sour wit is better than none at all. There isn't a bad story in this collection and the title story is one you'll never forget. Frankly, rereading it, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Thank you Galaxy for giving him to us, but you're gone too. It isn't a matter of the good old days. They weren't better. It was just that our stupidity hadn't caught up with us yet. Even Kornbluth couldn't save us now. But reading him will make us laugh as we sink into oblivion. If you like Swift and Sterne, you'll love this.

it's coming true...
By Steve G
Written around 1951, this is a story about the future (from their standpoint) and how those of lesser intelligence bred like rabbits, while the smarter people refrained, and how this led to the population having an average IQ of 40.
I read this as a teenager & never have forgotten it; it's an all-time classic. A great read if you can find a copy (check [...], which of course would make it a 'listen' rather than a read).
And damned if it isn't coming true.

A story for all time
By Maria M. Thompson
Kornbluth warned against dumbing down our educational system long, long ago. It's not too late to read and act on his prescient advice. I've been looking for a copy for years, so finding it here was just an amazing joy.
