The Glass Bees

Jünger's portrayal of a future obsessed with artificial inventions feels eerily prescient. I wonder what inspired his ideas about society's reliance on technology.

The characters seem almost dehumanized by their pursuits — is this a warning about technological progress at any cost?

Given that Jünger wrote during a tumultuous period, I'm curious how much of the dystopia mirrors real societal anxieties of his time.
