Paradise & Iron by Miles Breuer, M.D. is an early dystopian look at the possible dangers of technology and has the prescience to imagine automatic houses and self-driving cars. This is one of only two novels that Breuer wrote in his career in addition to numerous stories. Most of his work was published in Amazing Stories Monthly and Quarterly magazines. In 2008, Paradise & Iron was included in the collection The Man with the Strange Head and Other Early Science Fiction Stories published by Bison Books in Nebraska.
