Graveyard of Dreams (short story) by H. Beam Piper Despite Mr. Shakespeare, wealth and name are both dross compared with the theft of hope-- and Maxwell had to rob a whole planet of it! Published February 1958 ~ Galaxy Science Fcition
I bought this story as a paperback in the 1970s under the title _Junkyard Planet._ It was originally titled _The Cosmic Computer._ It’s a good read and a good listen. 🚀
Crystal Thompson Yes, I think the novel based on this story was the sequel to Space Viking. H.Beam Piper's alternative histories are quaint in some ways but still entertaining!
