Abstract :This study examines The Rim of Eternity (1964) as a dystopian novel that addresses issues of conflict, scientific growth, and global power dynamics. The novel is analysed in light of larger tendencies in dystopian fiction, particularly its depiction of a future defined by military and scientific development. The research focuses on how the novel portrays technology as both a tool for control and a force with unexpected consequences, stressing the dangers of unregulated scientific growth. The study also looks at how the novel depicts shifting superpowers, focusing on how global and galactic struggle for resources and military dominance impact the narrative. The study examines these themes to show how The Rim of Eternity reflects modern concerns as well as a pessimistic view of a future moulded by conflict, technological domination, and humanity\\\'s vulnerability to inter-human and alien threats.
Keywords : The Rim of Eternity, distopya, teknoloji, küresel savaşlar, uzaylılar
