conversations.value: The Road Not Taken (short story): The story is told through limited third person point of view, with most of the story concerning a single Roxolani captain.\nDuring a routine journey of conquest, they happen upon Earth.\nThe Roxolani anticipate a simple and rewarding campaign, as they can detect no use of gravity manipulation, the cornerstone of their civilization.\nHumanity is awed by the invaders, as the maneuverability granted by that technology suggests the rest of their civilization is equally impressive.\nBut as they begin their assault, things take a turn for the absurdthe Roxolani attack with matchlock weapons and black powder explosives.\nHumans retaliate with automatic weapons and missiles.\nThe battle is short, and most of the invaders are killed.\nA few are captured alive.\nWhen they are interrogated, the truth becomes evident.\nThe Roxolani\'s method of manipulating gravity is absurdly simple, and they were thus able to begin utilizing aircraft, spacecraft, and even faster than light travel during their Age of Sail.\nThis enabled them to engage in wars of conquest not only on a planetary but a galactic scale.\nHowever, gravity technology by itself had no application other than transportation, and was such a bizarre discovery that their scientific theorems couldn\'t accommodate it.\nAs a result, the scientific method was abandoned and their technological development ground to a halt.\nThey have never achieved, for example, their equivalent of the Industrial Revolution, much less the Information Revolution.\nMost civilizations experience this at an even earlier stage of development, and the Roxolani found conquest a simple and productive endeavor.\nIn contrast, humanity somehow missed developing gravity technology, and its unfocused expenditure of creativity and resources thus resulted in less immediately rewarding but ultimately more versatile applications and development of a very wide range of knowledge - medicine, heavy industry, electric motors, computers, nuclear power, etc.\nBut without gravity technology, they were restricted to a single solar system, and until recently a single planet.\nThe key term being were.\nThe captured Roxolani ships reveal their secrets to any moderately trained eye, and gravity technology will spread like wildfire.\nEarth is overpopulated, the galaxy is filled with civilizations even less advanced than the Roxolani - the stage is set for humanity to build an interstellar empire.\nIn the course of the story, Turtledove presents what might happen if a technologically inferior species, with two advanced technologies unconnected to anything else, were to engage humanity in warfare.\nThe story directly references the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost when the conquered aliens are discussing why humanity is, in their eyes, so advanced.\nIn the discussions among the characters, the possible problems of life on Earth in the future are mentioned, with the expanded population and food shortages referenced as possible causes of war.\nOne Roxolani wonders if there is truth to the Earth weapons of which they have heard, but not seen.\nHis comrade said he believed them, because he heard the fear in their voices when speaking of nuclear weapons.\nAs the characters realize the impact of the narrow but critical Roxolani technology for another, generally more advanced society, the story closes with the characters asking themselves, "What have we done.\n".
