Both politics and social relations were counting on the concepts of gain , positive changes , confidence in the logical , awareness , hi-tech progress , and the potential to substantiate any happening from a analytical viewpoint . Nevertheless , beginning from the second half of the 60’s, the world began to degrade and currently , 40 years after , we dwell in a changed type of actuality .
We without any problems spot those innovations which are brought to us by new technology, but we almost never comprehend the fact that there are specific concepts which the author has put behind those technological solutions. The essence of the expected change was initially tracked by those people, who more often than not lived anteceding their time – writers and authors. Among the numerous authors whose books have served for entertainment , there have been a few who have given the humankind a new vision .
