The Buttoned Sky is a science fiction novel by Robert W. Krepps, written in the early 1950s. Set in a dystopian future, it follows Revel, a member of the oppressed underclass known as the ruck, who accidentally kills a god-like being called a globe. This impulsive act sparks a rebellion against the oppressive power structure, exploring themes of defiance, power, and human dignity in a world dominated by omnipotent entities. Krepps' work reflects the anxieties of its era while addressing the struggle for autonomy and identity.
