Sinopsis

In "City of Endless Night," Milo Hastings invites readers into a dystopian landscape where society has succumbed to despair and moral decay. Set in a future dominated by oppressive technology and sinister agencies, the novel employs a chilling narrative style that fuses elements of science fiction with vivid, expressionistic prose. The stark contrast between the utopian vision and the horrifying reality encapsulates the zeitgeist of early 20th-century anxieties surrounding industrialization and the loss of individuality. Through the protagonist's journey, Hastings explores existential themes and the struggle for autonomy, fostering a compelling dialogue about the human condition in an increasingly mechanized world. Milo Hastings, influenced by his experiences as a soldier in World War I and his subsequent reflections on modern society, crafted this novel as a critique of unchecked technological advancement and political manipulation. His background in engineering and his understanding of social currents made him acutely aware of the potential pitfalls of progressivism, which he articulates through this haunting narrative. Hastings's keen insights into human nature and society's fragility resonate deeply throughout the text. "City of Endless Night" is a must-read for those interested in speculative fiction that challenges the reader to reflect on the complexities of modern existence. Hastings's ability to intertwine compelling characterization with profound philosophical questions makes this work not only entertaining but also intellectually stimulating. Readers will find themselves immersed in a cautionary tale that echoes the timeless struggles against tyranny and dehumanization.
