John Campbell Jr. gives us a brain squeezing story about evolution. What will be man's ultimate evolution? What will he look like 100,000 years in the future? And who will be his children? "It was 2538 years After the Year of the Son of Man. For six centuries mankind had been developing machines. The Ear-apparatus was discovered as early as seven hundred years before. The Eye came later, the Brain came much later. But by 2500, the machines had been developed to think, and act and work with perfect independence. Man lived on the products of the machine, and the machines lived to themselves very happily, and contentedly. Machines are designed to help and cooperate. It was easy to do the simple duties they needed to do that men might live well. And men had created them. Most of mankind were quite useless, for they lived in a world where no productive work was necessary."Zum Buch
Notes from Underground" by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a profound psychological and philosophical novel that explores the depths of human consciousness and self-destruction. Written in the form of a confessional monologue, the novel follows an unnamed narrator, a bitter and isolated former civil servant, as he reflects on his own contradictions, resentments, and the absurdities of existence. Divided into two parts, the book first presents the narrator’s philosophical musings, filled with self-loathing, defiance, and reflections on free will, rationality, and human nature. The second part recounts episodes from his past, including humiliating encounters with former acquaintances and a tragic interaction with a young woman, exposing his inability to connect with others and his deep existential anguish. Considered one of the first existentialist novels, Notes from Underground challenges notions of logic, morality, and individual freedom, offering a raw and unsettling insight into the complexities of the human mind.Zum Buch
