Mikromegas

The story cleverly uses humor to tackle profound questions about humanity and the universe. I'm curious about what motivated Voltaire's approach here.

Micromegas and the other alien beings reflect human follies in a humorous way. It made me wonder if this perspective was intentional to mirror our own society.

Some jokes and references are quite dated, but the core ideas feel timeless. Do others think the satire still resonates in modern times?
