* AncientConspiracy: In ''Country of the Blind'', the 19th century produced a crop of competing conspiracies based on the use of "cliology" (substantially similar to psychohistory in Asimov's ''Literature/{{Foundation}}'' novels), a mathematical discipline which can be used to reliably predict and manipulate the course of historical events. One such group prefers to play the AncientTradition role of usually passive observation (while making killings in the stock market), while others seek power for its own sake.

of God", using magic erodes away a person's moral sense, so every magic user has to have a chaperone to constantly ride herd on them and stop them from, say, solving people's problems by simply killing them.
* SpaceWestern:
SpaceWestern: "On the High Frontier" deliberately transplants Western cliches into space and gives them a hard-science spin.
* SpaceWhale: in In "On The High Frontier"Frontier" there are spacefaring creatures that resemble in part jellyfish, whales, and cattle, and are "herded" around the outer Solar System.
