Metropolis

Bys: Harbou, Thea Von and Gaughan, Jack

Step into the iconic cityscape of "Metropolis," a foundational work of science fiction. Thea von Harbou's vision of the future explores a society sharply divided into distinct social classes. Above, a privileged elite enjoys a utopian existence, while below, workers toil endlessly to maintain their world. This dystopian landscape is populated not only by humans but also by the marvels and potential perils of early conceptions of robots.

"Metropolis" remains a powerful exploration of social inequality, technological advancement, and the enduring human spirit. This meticulously prepared print edition brings von Harbou's classic novel to life, allowing readers to experience the story's timeless themes and imaginative world-building. A must-read for anyone interested in science fiction, dystopian literature, and the enduring questions about the future of humanity.
