Heliopol. Glass bees

Heliopol (1949) is one of the key works of Junger, in which his political views and the ideology of the conservative revolution were reflected.
This is a talented and original novel, which combines the features of anti -utopia and philosophical parables. Its plot basis is simple: in the mysterious metropolis, which has become the new capital of mankind after the next world war, there is a merciless struggle of the military and political aristocracy. And the victim of this confrontation is the people suffering from the despotism of power.
“Glass bees” (1957) - perhaps the most unusual novel by Junger, written at the junction of the genres of utopia and anti -utopia.
The society of technological progress and the celebration of artificial intelligence , robots that replace a person in production, the development of virtual reality and a comfortable existence. For this “well -being” people have to pay loneliness, and the loss of personal freedom and non -control.
This is the world in which the hero of the novel lives-the retired captain Richard, trying to get a job at the factory for the production of the intellect of robots of the Liliputs of a certain Dazparoni-an sophisticated fan of experiments who want to surpass the main creator-nature.
Perhaps humanity has lost its way and perfection of technology only a seeming good?
