"Heliopolis" (1949) - one of the key works of Jünger, which reflected his political views and ideology of the conservative revolution. It is a talented and original novel that combines features of dystopia and philosophical parable. Its plot is simple: in a mysterious metropolis, which became the new capital of mankind after another world war, there is a ruthless struggle between the military and political aristocracy. And the victim of this confrontation is the people suffering from the despotism of power. "Glass Bees" (1957) - perhaps the most unusual novel Junger, written at the crossroads of the genres of utopia and dystopia. Society of technological progress and the triumph of artificial intelligence, robots replacing humans in production, the development of virtual reality and comfortable existence. For this "well-being" people have to pay with loneliness and loss of personal freedom and uncontrollability. This is the world in which the hero of the novel lives - retired captain Richard, trying to get a job at the factory for the production of robots endowed with the intelligence of a certain Zapparoni - a sophisticated amateur experimenter who wants to surpass the main creator - nature. Could it be that mankind has lost its way and the perfection of technology is only a seeming good thing?
