Set against the backdrop of a post-World War I society grappling with technological advances and ethical dilemmas, the novel articulately blends philosophical themes with an innovative narrative style. Stapledons prose is both lyrical and introspective, layering rich imagery with profound meditations on consciousness, love, and the nature of being. The character of Sirius serves as a vehicle for exploring the boundaries between humanity and animality, inviting readers to reconsider their definitions of identity and intelligence in an increasingly mechanized world. Olaf Stapledon was an English writer and philosopher, known for his visionary approach to science fiction. His extensive background in philosophy led him to explore complex ethical and metaphysical questions in his fiction. Influenced by contemporary developments in psychology, biology, and technology, Stapledons work often reflects his desire to illuminate the larger component of human existence. "Sirius" emerged during a transformative era marked by uncertainty, reflecting Stapledons own concerns about humanitys future and its relationship to the other beings sharing the planet. "Sirius" is a must-read for enthusiasts of speculative fiction and philosophical literature alike. Stapledons masterful storytelling and deep thematic exploration invite readers to embark on a thought-provoking journey that transcends simple anthropocentrism. In an age marked by questions of genetic modification and artificial intelligence, this text resonates powerfully, urging us to reflect on what it truly means to be sentient.</p>...2074066Sirius4545https://www.gandhi.com.mx/sirius/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1874394/9ca41dd1-0e7f-4ea5-9083-49a72223c9c4.jpg?v=638444115683900000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20228596547006084_W3siaWQiOiI2ZjMzODYwNC1kY2VmLTQ1YjItYThmYS0wNDJhNGVhNjhmNTYiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMjlUMTM6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547006084_<p>Sirius is a dog with humanlike intelligence.
