"In 1945 he wrote that ''the first War of the Machines seems to be drawing to its final inconclusive chapter - leaving, alas, everyone the poorer, many bereaved or maimed and millions dead, and only one thing triumphant: the Machines. As the servants of the Machines are becoming a privileged class, the Machines are going to be enormously more powerful. What's their next move?'' In the mythical battles in ''The Lord of the Rings'' there is a sense of dread, of an evil more threatening than the worst war among political equals. No wonder."
