Description
Excerpt from Underground Man
It is perhaps remarkable that for so many people, so tremendous a theme as the material future Of mankind should only be approachable either through a method Of conscientiously technical, pseudo-scientific discussion that is in effect scarcely an approach at all or else in this mood of levity. I know of no book in this direction that can claim to be a permanent success which combines a tolerable intelligibility with a simple good faith in the reader. One may Speculate how this comes aboutp The subject it would seem is so grave and great as to be incompatibly out of pro portion to the affairs and conditions of the individual life about which our workaday thinking goes on. We are interested indeed.
