An uncertainty of greatness This is my first classic science fiction read, and I'm just confused. I am not sure whether that confusion will dissipate when I absorb the story over time, or whether I'm just going to stay confused! This story did not go in the direction i expected at all, and though that's not a bar thing by any means, it's frustrated me, as I kind of feel disoriented by where we got to. Saying all this, sometimes you read something and you understand is greatness, but you just don't think it works for you, or maybe I'm just a bit slow in understanding.
Willkommen, Overlords!?
Ein fantastisches Buch und eine tolle Geschichte, die - so scheint mir - viele nachfolgende Werke in Literatur und Film maßgeblich geprägt hat. Ich bin sehr begeistert von dem Aufbau und der Erzählweise dieses Werks und habe staunend das ein oder andere Kapitel verschlungen. „No utopia can ever give satisfaction to everyone, all the time. As their material conditions improve, men raise their sights and become discontented with power and possessions that once would have seemed beyond their wildest dreams. And even when the external world has granted all it can, there still remain the searchings of the mind and the longings of the heart.“
