About This Book

An enigmatic, wealthy stranger settles in a mountain village and becomes the pivot for evening gatherings where opposing local figures meet; his eccentric manners, unexpected largesse, and cryptic experiments provoke debates that expose political rancor and social hypocrisies. Through framed anecdotes, speculative scenes and imagined devices, the narrative alternates satire and serious reflection to present various possible futures, interrogating authority, reform, and the social effects of scientific and technological change.
