Reading Gulliver's Travels | Alexandria
Read Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. Exposing humanity's self-delusions, Swift's savage satire reveals how our "advanced" civilization mirrors the absurd societies Gulliver encounters. His insight that progress often breeds arrogance feels eerily relevant today, as technology amplifies our tendency toward moral superiority. Yet within his cynicism lies hope: seeing our folly is the first step to transcending it.
