Set in France in 1955, the story follows scientist Philox Lorris as he introduces transformative electrical technologies that reshape society. Robida imagines a future of constant communication through "Tele screens," airship traffic, escalating warfare with chemical and biological weapons, and a population overwhelmed by stress and nervous exhaustion. Written with satirical wit and illustrated by the author himself, this darkly comic vision anticipated modern life with startling accuracy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
