It examines a secret society bent on taking over the world, and one man's attempt to get out of it. The fourth "The Tell-Tale Computer" describes what happens when a machine knows more than is good for it. And the Fifth "The Iron Crown" examines how even the most insignificant among us can end up saving the world.
