| Summary | "L'Ève future" by comte de Auguste Villiers de L'Isle-Adam is a novel written during the late 19th century. This intriguing work explores themes of technology and human emotion through the character of Thomas Edison, who is depicted as a magician of science, creating wonders with his inventions. As the narrative unfolds, it offers a unique perspective on the nature of humanity, love, and the essence of existence, questioning the relationship between technology and the human experience. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Edison in his laboratory at Menlo Park, where he reflects on his inventions and the fleeting nature of reality and sound. With a mix of melancholy and humor, he laments the missed opportunities in history to record significant sounds and voices, pondering what humanity has lost. The scene is set for a conversation with Sowana, an enigmatic character, as they discuss a miraculous creation named Hadaly, hinting at themes of artificial intelligence and the nature of consciousness. The opening establishes a meditative and philosophical tone, suggesting a rich exploration of the intersections between technology, memory, and the human soul.
