WHEN ANIMALS REIGN SUPREME
That's the preface to Karel Capek's novel, When Animals Reign Supreme, which perfectly encapsulates his ideas. In his work, Capek writes about a hypothetical scenario: the rise of a new salamander species just a few years after its arrival in the human world. His focus remains on the “reality” of the 1930s, the rise of fascism, the spark that ignited World War II, and the impending extinction of humanity. More than that, it serves as a prophecy for the future of humankind, a future that seems bleak if humanity remains consumed by greed, selfishness, bloodlust, and the illusion that humankind will forever stand at the top of the world.

He had a duffel bag, a head full of machine music, and the kind of hands that remembered how things fit together long after memory had given up the words.
