Dieses Buch kam mir mit zu vielen Kriegsanekdoten und zu wenig “Hier und Jetzt“. Es war teilweise sehr anstrengend dem Plot zu folgen, und manchmal hatte man das Gefühl es geht nichts weiter. Es fühlte sich auf jeden Fall länger als 150 Seiten an.

Surprisingly fascinated by this rumination on the relationship between nature and technology, and how human's capacities - our senses and our memories - are easily swayed. Very surprising and quite provocative.

This was an interesting book. Though it was a short novel, it wasn’t an easy read. The plot, which looks at a man trying to find a job, was thought-provoking. I loved how Junger looked at the ideas of power, technology and nature.

Surprisingly relevant to the world of today, with great prose and an interesting, if small, story.
