The Glass Bees

In The Glass Bees the celebrated German writer Ernst Juenger presents a disconcerting vision of the future. Zapparoni, a brilliant businessman, has turned his advanced understanding of technology and his strategic command of the information and entertainment industries into a discrete form of global domination. He hires Richard, a war hero, as chief of security. When Richard arrives in Zapparoni’s country headquarters, however, he finds himself subjected to an unexpected ordeal…Dismissed as fantastic in the 1960s, The Glass Bees now seems very much like the present we know.
