Description
On the Galapagos, a million years after Charles Darwin's initial visit, a new species has evolved. The human survivors of a catastrophic event have transformed into sleek, furry creatures with flippers and small brains. Their technology, known as Mandarax, has enabled them to recall and translate vast amounts of information, but it remains unable to understand the language of the cannibals who now inhabit the islands.
This novel, written by Kurt Vonnegut, presents a humorous and thought-provoking exploration of the consequences of human innovation and the evolution of society. With its unique blend of science fiction and satire, Galapagos is a compelling read that balances the darker aspects of human nature with a sense of wonder and curiosity.
Published in 1990, this edition of Galapagos is a new edition, featuring 237 pages and a paperback binding. The book falls under the categories of fantasy and science fiction, making it an interesting choice for readers looking to explore the genre.
