O knihe

"AN ORWELLIAN CRY FOR FREEDOM IN A SURREAL KAFKAESQUE WORLD." I awoke in utter darkness, with no memory of any other existence. I was in chains - had I always been a prisoner? Soldiers came. They led us to the Factory, an eternal place of toil and suffering. Long, twisted shapes in perfect suits put us to work, and then we... worked. There was no light, no rest, and no food to be had; there was nothing but the gigantic machines and the useless products they spew out - forever. And above us all loomed the Tower. Nobody had ever entered it; we just watched as it grew taller and taller, fueled by us - and our misery. And then: a small gesture of kindness. A soldier with a soul. It changed everything. The hammers in our hands felt different then, and one by one, we began lifting them. Not for work; not this time. But for justice. WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS! "Forceful like a fierce Van Gogh painting." "A surreal, dystopian exposition of violence and horror that delves deep into themes of class struggle and capitalist oppression." "A well-imagined thought experiment given life. This book takes you on a wild ride right up to the revolution." "A perfect allegory for our modern struggle." "A story that blurs the lines between reality and nightmare. The Orwellian oppression of the working class meets the nightmarish absurdity of a Kafkaesque world." "I was entranced by the sinister setting and the powerful revolutionary themes in this book." "The novella's depiction of a violent class war against capitalist tyranny is both disturbing and inspiring."
