Goliah by Jack London - What if a single mysterious figure could bring the world's armies to their knees and reshape society overnight? A future where science becomes the ultimate power—whether humanity is ready or not.

Goliah is a science fiction short story that explores themes of power, revolution, and utopianism. The story follows an enigmatic scientist known as Goliah, who possesses advanced knowledge and technology capable of disrupting the world's militaries and industrial systems. Using his mysterious powers, Goliah broadcasts a message to the world's governments, demanding an end to war, economic exploitation, and social inequality.

At first, world leaders resist, but Goliah demonstrates his ability to destroy battleships and infrastructure effortlessly. Realizing they have no choice, they submit to his demands. Under his rule, a new global order emerges—one without poverty, crime, or oppression. Despite initial fears, humanity flourishes under Goliah's enforced peace, ushering in an age of scientific advancement and social harmony.
