Let The Ants Try: From War’s Ashes, Ants Rise

Let the Ants Try by Frederik Pohl delivers a stark, haunting vision of humanity’s final gamble — and its terrible consequences. In a blasted world where civilization collapsed under radioactive fury, scientist Dr. Salva Gordy buries ant queens in ancient soil, hoping these insects might inherit a cleaner Earth. But when those mutant ants return in a distant future, grown monstrous in scale and alien in mind, Gordy must confront the terrifying possibility that the new rulers of Earth will not show mercy — even to their mortal benefactors.

Frederik Pohl was one of the mid-20th century’s most visionary science fiction authors, known for his keen blend of bold imagination and hard social insight. Over a career spanning decades, Pohl traveled from pulps to prize-winning novels and anthologies, addressing humanity’s hubris, moral decay, and hope for redemption. Let the Ants Try stands out as a ruthless meditation on war, mutation, and what we leave behind. For fans of classic sci-fi with dark moral questions — this story still resonates.
