Le congrès de futurologie

The Futurological Congress (from the memoirs of Ijon Tichy)

I enjoyed the reflections on humanity, and the speculations of the future that the author creates. Writing is also always engaging, though a bit hard as it is just one text whole, no paragraphs or breaks. 

It was okay to me, but not what I usually enjoy reading.

I enjoyed the reflections on humanity, and the speculations of the future that the author creates. Writing is also always engaging, though a bit hard as it is just one text whole, no paragraphs or breaks. 

It was okay to me, but not what I usually enjoy reading.

The farcical tone irritated me at first but it quickly takes a deeper — and darker — turn. Interesting story on the theme of illusions, with political undertones.

This Room Guaranteed Bomb-Free. From the Management' Hapless cosmonaut Ijon Tichy has been sent back to earth to attend the Eighth Futurological Congress in smog-bound, overpopulated Costa Rica, holed up with an assortment of scientists in a luxury hotel (fully equipped with tear gas sprinklers in case things get out of hand). But when an unfortunate incident occurs involving a revolution and hallucinogenic drugs in the water supply, Tichy finds himself shot, frozen and thawed out in a future beyond anything he could ever have imagined.
