Neka bude svjetlost

Neka bude svjetlost

Rupert Morgan

Britanac Rupert Morgan u ovom romanu tvrdi da na drugoj strani Sunca postoji planeta identična Zemlji i da tamo žive ljudi kao i mi – samo malo luđi. U stvari, ljudi Sjedinjenih Država Atlantide su potpuno nesređeni.

Roman prati priču o futurističkom svetu u kojem korporacije i tehnologija dominiraju životima ljudi. Glavni lik je naučnik koji radi na revolucionarnom projektu - stvaranju veštačkog izvora energije koji bi mogao trajno da reši svetske energetske probleme. Ovaj „izvor svetlosti“ trebalo bi da donese prosperitet čovečanstvu, ali se ubrzo otkriva da njegove posledice nisu onakve kakve su izgledale na početku.

Kako projekat napreduje, naučnik se suočava sa moralnim dilemama, političkim pritiscima i ekološkim katastrofama koje su rezultat prevelike ljudske pohlepe i nepoštovanja prirodnih ograničenja. Morgan duhovito pokazuje kako pohlepa i kratkovidost korporativnog sveta mogu da ugroze opstanak planete.

Morganov roman poziva na razmišljanje o odgovornosti čovečanstva prema prirodi i tehnologiji. U šaljivom tonu šalje ozbiljnu poruku o potrebi održivog razvoja i balansa između napretka i očuvanja planete.
