Ikusasa liyisilingo kunoma yimuphi umxoxi ozishaya isifuba ngokuhlola ukukhukhuleka kwempucuko yethu. Ngoba inganekwane yomlando ihlanganisa indaba ye-intrahistorical nge-chicha eyengeziwe mayelana nalokho esasiyikho. Ezinye izinhlobo zababhali zisele nomsebenzi wokubhekana nalokho esizoba yikho. UWalter Tevis wathatha i-gauntlet kule noveli yango-1980 ukuthi, ngokuqinisekile, ithole indawo entsha emashalofini amasha ane-vitola ekhishwe kabusha, ngenxa yeNetflix kanye ne-idyll yayo nomunye wemisebenzi yakhe: "Gambito de Dama".
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yikuphi, wamukelekile ukuba kwenzeke ngengozi noma ube nenhlanhla yokulunguza ku-dystopia ethokozisayo ene-post-apocalyptic overtones ezenzele yona. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kusuka okholweni lwethu nokuzinikela kubuchwepheshe, ubuhlakani bokwenziwa, i-inthanethi yezinto noma amarobhothi.
Sekudlule amakhulu eminyaka futhi uMhlaba usuyiplanethi emnyama ne-dystopian lapho amarobhothi asebenza khona futhi umuntu angaphela amandla, etholwe injabulo kagesi kanye nenjabulo ye-narcotic. Ezweni elinjalo elingenazo ubuciko, ngaphandle kokufunda futhi abangenazo izingane, abantu bakhetha ukuzishisa bephila ukuze bangathwali iqiniso.
Futhi kukulesi simo lapho u-Spofforth, umshini ophelele kakhulu owake wadalwa, i-android yesikhathi esingenamkhawulo esiphile amakhulu eminyaka futhi njengamanje oyinduna yeNyuvesi yaseNew York, ejabulela isifiso sakhe esikhulu kunazo zonke: ukukwazi ukufa.
Inkinga nje wukuthi izinhlelo zakhe ziyamvimba ekutheni azibulale. Kuze kube yilapho abalingiswa ababili bephambana ekuphileni kwakhe: U-Paul Bentley, umuntu oye wafunda ukufunda ngemva kokuthola iqoqo lamafilimu akudala athule; noMary Lou, ihlongandlebe elithanda kakhulu ukuchitha amahora namahora e-Brooklyn Zoo bebuka izinyoka ezizihambelayo. Ngokushesha uPaul noMariya, njengo-Adamu no-Eva ababili beBhayibheli banamuhla, bazozakhela ipharadesi labo phakathi nencithakalo.
