Reading Metropolis | Alexandria
Read Metropolis by Thea von Harbou. Building a perfect society through class warfare and robot revolution, Metropolis imagines a future where technology divides humanity. This prophetic 1925 novel shockingly predicted our digital anxieties, AI ethics debates, and wealth inequality crisis. Its most radical insight? True progress requires both the "head" (intellect) and "heart" (empathy) - neither alone can save civilization.
