Listen "06 - Underground Man by Gabriel Tarde"
Episode Synopsis
In this gripping post-apocalyptic novella, the remnants of humanity grapple with the aftermath of a solar cataclysm that decimates civilization in the late 20th century. Forced to retreat underground, they strive to create a new society grounded in love, beauty, and the pursuit of the arts and intellectualism, all while contending with the absence of all life forms except for humankind. This eerily prophetic tale resonates deeply in todays world, as the sun remains dormant, making its themes feel more relevant than ever. Written by French sociologist and criminologist Tarde, this novella stands as his sole foray into fiction, richly layered with philosophical, sociological, scientific, and political ideas. It promises to be an absorbing and thought-provoking read that challenges the intellect. (Summary by Ruth Golding)
