Blindness
A dystopian novel about a mysterious epidemic of "white blindness" that suddenly strikes an unnamed city. As the contagion spreads, society rapidly breaks down into chaos and violence. The story follows a group of quarantined victims, including the only person who mysteriously retains her sight. Through this allegory, Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago explores themes of social breakdown, human dignity, compassion, and the fragility of civilization when stripped of its veneer.
Between Security and Insecurity
A collection of essays exploring the nature of modern society through 19 short, interlinked meditations. Klíma takes a humanist's stroll through our inhumane century and ponders our millennial prospects, discussing rationality and irrationality, the artificial world, modern idols, mass media, and movements for change. The Czech writer examines the fundamental questions of security and insecurity in contemporary life, reflecting on civilization's moral challenges and humanity's capacity for both rational thought and self-destruction. Part of the "Prospects for Tomorrow" series.
Brave New World
A dystopian novel set in a futuristic World State where citizens are genetically engineered and conditioned from birth for predetermined social roles. The society operates under the motto "Community, Identity, Stability" and maintains control through the elimination of family, culture, art, religion, and human emotions, replacing them with mass consumerism and instant gratification.
