520 _a"To Invade New York...." by Irwin Lewis is a science fiction short story published in the early 1960s. The narrative revolves around an audacious and absurd plan to physically invade New York City, leveraging its intricate transportation system. It deftly explores themes of chaos in urban environments and the absurdity of bureaucratic systems, all woven into a suspenseful tale of mistaken intentions and looming disaster. The plot centers on Professor Horace Howard Clarke, who encounters a frantic little man, Mr. Rumplestein-O'Grady, with a warning about a plot that could lead to New York's downfall. As the professor learns about a convoluted plan to create chaos in the city—by tampering with subway tokens and traffic lights—he grapples with disbelief. However, as the prediction becomes a vivid reality with traffic lights unexpectedly turning green, the palpable tension escalates. Rumplestein's warnings culminate in a dramatic, out-of-control situation, leaving readers to question the thin line between madness and reality in an increasingly chaotic world.
