When The Glass Bees was first published in 1960, junger's German critics dismissed the book's vision as lacking contemporary relevance. Today, however, the future it imagines seems very much like the present we now know.

The Glass Bees

Gary Homewood

Veteran war hero goes for a job interview with a brilliant businessman head of a company making miniature robots and automata toys. Starts off disappointingly like Robots the Disney animation, but digresses to the protagonists musings on the philosophy of war, childhood cruelty, becomes much stranger, less predictable and more inventive. Confounds a contemporary readers preconceptions.
