Dann tauchten am Horizont Raumschiffe einer technisch überlegenen Spezies auf. Und–BAM!–war die gute alte Zeit vorbei. Jene Zeit, als wir Menschen uns nur gegenseitig töteten. Also Columbus Day–Kolumbustag. Das passt.

Pubblicato nel 1949, il libro offre la visione da incubo del satirista politico George Orwell di un mondo totalitario e burocratico e il tentativo di un povero uomo di trovare l'individualità.
