Odd John

Více o knize

The narrative centers on John Wainwright, a superhuman whose advanced mentality clashes with ordinary society, leading to the downfall of a utopian colony. Drawing inspiration from Nietzsche and J. D. Beresford, the story delves into the moral implications of being an Übermensch. The narrator highlights John's disregard for conventional morality, while the overarching theme of cosmic indifference adds depth to the tale. This exploration of superhuman ideals and societal conflict foreshadows similar themes in the works of later science fiction authors.
