Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Dive into the unsettling world of 'The Clockwork Man,' a foundational work of dystopian science fiction by E. V. Odle. This thought-provoking novel explores a future shaped by artificial intelligence and the blurring lines between humanity and technology. Long before cyberpunk became a genre staple, Odle crafted a chilling vision of cyborgs and a society grappling with the implications of increasingly sophisticated clockwork men. A cornerstone of early science fiction, 'The Clockwork Man' presents a stark commentary on progress and its potential cost. This meticulously prepared edition allows you to experience Odle's prescient and imaginative story, a powerful exploration of what it means to be human in an age of rapidly advancing technology.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Several thousand years from now, advanced humanoids known as the Makers will implant clockwork devices into our heads. At the cost of a certain amount of agency, these devices will permit us to move unhindered through time and space, and to live complacent, well-regulated lives. However, when one of these devices goes awry, a 'clockwork man' appears accidentally in the 1920s, at a cricket match in a small English village. Comical yet mind-blowing hijinks ensue.Considered the first cyborg novel, The Clockwork Man was first published in 1923 ? the same year as Karel Capek's pioneering android play, R.U.R. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rumors has it that 'E.V. Odle' was a pen name for Virginia Woolf. However this is not true. (1890-1942) UK editor and author; in the former capacity he was the first editor 1926-circa1935 of the British Argosy Magazine (see The Argosy). As younger brother of the UK illustrator and artist Alan Odle (1888-1948), who was the husband of Dorothy M Richardson (1873-1957), Odle came into close contact with J D Beresford, who had been instrumental in publishing the first volume of Richardson's Pilgrimage in 1915. Odle's Scientific Romance, The Clockwork Man (1923), clearly shows the influence of Beresford, an author central to that form, and may also have been published with his help. In this graceful tale, a Cyborg - in this case a man into whose body a clock-like monitor-cum-Time Machine has been inserted - comes accidentally back through time from 8000 CE to the present (see Time Travel), where in his Mysterious Stranger role he plays cricket and disturbs his auditors by describing a world in which life regulated by Machines is accepted by most, though not all. God, it is hoped, has been taking note of the new, 'improved' version of humanity. All the more moving for its air of calm, The Clockwork Man is a plea to the human beings of the twentieth-century world that they not continue losing the battle against the machine. Other work by Odle includes the short fantasy 'The Curse upon Isaac Knockabout' (April 1923 Gaiety), featuring a magic ring, a curse-bestowing genie and two somewhat stereotyped Jewish tailors. The suggestion that 'E V Odle' was a pseudonym used by Virginia Woolf to write sf is an elaborate spoof. [JC].…
