Wikipedia articleDbpedia source

"Hinterlands" is a science fiction short story written by William Gibson in 1981 and published in his short fiction collection Burning Chrome in 1986. The story is a fable about the 'cargo cult' mentality. "Hinterlands" explores the consequences for cultures and civilisations when confronted with artifacts - from an unknown but likely superior source - that are dangerous but nonetheless valuable. The word "Hinterland" comes from the German (literally "behind land") and means a remote or less developed area behind something more central or developed, for example the land behind a coast, a harbour or a city.
