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 might have written that ep of Outer Limits, he worked a ton in TV back in the day.

In 1995, "Sandkings" was adapted into a television film that served as the first episode of The Outer Limits relaunch. The script was adapted by Melinda M. Snodgrass, Martin's co-editor for the Wild Cards series.

Honestly I prefer the Outer Limits version, the novel is a little too busy and the ending is a bit silly.
