GRRM wrote "Sandkings" which is one of my favorite novellas ever. He gets a pass from me.
I think he stole this from an episode of Outer Limits.
The novel is ~15 years older than that show..?
He used time travel to steal it.
Using a time machine stolen from HG Wells
He might have written that ep of Outer Limits, he worked a ton in TV back in the day.
Honestly I prefer the Outer Limits version, the novel is a little too busy and the ending is a bit silly.
