Miller, Jr. is a science fiction novella first published in the mid-20th century. The story takes place during a time of global conflict, characterized by the urgent military and political developments of a futuristic war scenario. It explores themes of rebellion and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in a complex society on the brink of destruction, specifically through the lens of a navy lieutenant grappling with the implications of his participation in warfare. The narrative follows Lieutenant Mitch Laskell, who is stationed on a one-man submarine patrolling the Atlantic during a state of national emergency. As he learns about his government's drastic decision to engage in an all-out attack against enemy forces, he becomes increasingly conflicted regarding his duty and the ethics of the war. Laskell experiences an internal struggle with the implications of his orders and ultimately decides to desert, seeking to escape the madness of a conflict he believes threatens the very foundations of civilization. However, as he navigates the waters of rebellion, he discovers that his understanding of right and wrong—and the responsibilities of a soldier—are deeply intertwined. The novella culminates in a dramatic decision that highlights his commitment to protecting the essential tools of civilization against the destructive forces of war.
