* [[Aborted Arc]]: At the end of ''The Cosmic Computer'', the main characters on the planet Poictesme are setting up plans to eventually help rebuild civilization after [[The Federation]] falls, with the aid of the advanced computer Merlin. They won't themselves live to see the collapse, much less the rebuilding, but they're preserving, as best they can, the capability to rebuild. None of Piper's works set after this make '''any''' mention of Merlin or Poictesme; for whatever reason, the Merlin Plan failed without a trace.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: Five years before JFK was assassinated, Piper wrote 'Lone Star Planet:' the politicians of New Texas were routinely offed if they 'had it coming.'
