This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of books). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Rule Golden is a science fiction novella by American writer Damon Knight. In the near future, a journalist named Dahl discovers that the United States government has taken captive an alien who has the ability to change people so that they suffer the same pain or damage that they inflict on others. Dahl helps the alien to escape, and the story records how the psychological changes induced by the alien cause massive upheavals in human society.
The novella first appeared in the May 1954 issue of Science Fiction Adventures magazine. Since then it has been reprinted numerous times, for instance, in the collection Six Great Short Science Fiction Novels (ed. Groff Conklin) and the collection Study War No More (ed. Joe Haldeman).
Knight expanded his idea of a psychological "mutual assured destruction" mechanism in his Sea Venture Trilogy.
