a satire on society and human gullibiity (Aziloth Books)

Boekbeoordeling

Meer over het boek

The narrative critiques the hypocrisy of religion and societal norms through the lens of Erewhon, where societal values are turned upside down—fraudsters are treated with care while the sick are punished. The inhabitants are portrayed as easily manipulated and quick to sacrifice common sense for rigid logic. Samuel Butler's sharp wit and foresight shine through, particularly in his exploration of the risks associated with intelligent machines, making the themes strikingly relevant even today.
