All efforts to describe permanent happiness, on the other hand, have been failures, from earliest history onwards.
A book like Brave New World is an expression of the actual fear that modern man feels of the rationalised hedonistic society which it is within his power to create.
For one of the sources of the Fascist movement is the desire to avoid a too- rational and too- comfortable world.
The earlier parts of Gulliver’s Travels are probably the most devastating attack on human society that has ever been written. Every word of them is relevant today.

Burgomaster. All right. What’s the mood around town? Warden. Quiet. But they are still writing. Burgomaster. Writing what? Warden. Letter “L” on the walls. That means Lancelot. Burgomaster. Nonsense! “L” means - “Love the president”. Warden. I see. So, we don’t detain those who are writing? Burgomaster. Are you kidding? Of course we do. What else do they write? Warden. Embarrassing to say. The president is scum. His son is a crook. The president… (giggles) Can’t really repeat the expression, sir. But mostly they write the “L”. Burgomaster. Morons. What do they want with that Lancelot anyway? Any news about him, while we’re on the subject? Warden. Not a word. Burgomaster. Did you interrogate the birds? Warden. Uh-huh. Burgomaster. All of them? Warden. Uh-huh. See this mark? That’s eagle’s present. Got me right in the ear. Burgomaster. And what are they saying? Warden. They say they didn’t see Lancelot. Only the parrot agrees. You’re like: “Have you seen him?” And he’s like: “Seen him”. You’re like: “You saw Lancelot?” And he’s like: “Saw Lancelot.” Well, you know what kind of bird the parrot is. Burgomaster. What about the snakes? Warden. Those would have slithered in themselves if they smelled anything. They’re on our side. And relatives to the deceased to boot. But they don’t. Burgomaster. The fish? Warden. Not a peep. Burgomaster. Maybe they know something? Warden. Nope. We had our scientists look into their eyes, and they confirm - those guys know nothing. In short Lancelot, also known as St. George, also known as Perseus, named differently in each country, has yet to be located. Burgomaster. Screw him, then.

Europe likes reading. And borrowing books. While America and Asia are more into movies, not books.

There is a curious epithet of this #god, #vishapakagh ( #vishap -reaper or “vishap”-gatherer/harvester). Although this epithet had come to mean “vishap” ( #dragon ) killer/slayer in medieval #Armenian #literature, even as late as the #5th-century, “vishap” meant more than a “dragon” (30). One derivation of “vishap” [5] is from #Persian “having poisonous saliva” (31). Could the vishaps and possibly the enigmatic vishap-stones found in various places on the #Armenian-highlands originally have been #mushroom -related?

I think that #Sheckley ’s #Answerer is a way better machine than #Adams es #DeepThought. http://www.gutenberg.org/files/33854/33854-h/33854-h.htm Because Answerer will never answer #42 cause nobody will understand him. I belive that’s true that “In order to #ask a #question you must already know most of the #answer " #literature #sci-fi #sheckley #book #cover #Շեքլի

When I read these news about #drones, #Watchbird by Robert #Sheckley flashes in my head.
Over the town, the watchbird soared in a long, lazy curve. Its aluminum hide glistened in the morning sun, and dots of light danced on its stiff wings. Silently it flew. Silently, but with all senses functioning. Built-in kinesthetics told the watchbird where it was, and held it in a long search curve. Its eyes and ears operated as one unit, searching, seeking.
