Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons

"Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons" is a classic science fiction short story written by Cordwainer Smith, first published in ''Galaxy Magazine'' in 1961, and partly based on Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.〔(The science fiction of Cordwainer Smith )〕 It is collected most recently in ''The Rediscovery of Man''. It details the methods by which the Norstrilians (or "Old North Australians") of Smith's fictional "Instrumentality" universe maintain their monopoly on the precious immortality drug ''stroon''. The story details part of the background to the novel ''Norstrilia'' (which references the Kittons once in its introduction as a sure method of death).
The story has been alluded to in Charles Stross's ''Glasshouse''.〔http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2010/08/interview-1.html#comment-56799〕
== Background==
Cordwainer Smith is a pseudonym of Paul Linebarger, the noted China expert, who wrote most of his published science-fiction stories within the setting of the Instrumentality of Mankind. For many millennia, the rather static structure of this society (on those planets which the Instrumentality directly administered) was of Lords of the Instrumentality ruling over humans (who were allowed a fixed 400-year lifespan) and a large number of exploited animal-derived "Underpeople" servants. The use of the immortality drug "stroon" from the world of Norstrilia was a vital tool in maintaining this order.
