Summary
Details

It was during the Vietnam war when the author landed in the land of free at the most liberal university and listened to the fiery anti wear speeches of Herbert Marcuse and Angela Davis. He was coming from a small country on the shores of the Black Sea where an Orwellian experiment to control the entire population of a country was taking place. His stories are about transformations, from the barbaric times brought about to his country by the end of the Second World War and then to life in academia, in the US and Europe as a computer science professor. Some of the stories are about information revolution that cracked the door open to an underworld of darkness and is threatening human society with dangers it is unprepared to face, and the suffocating rate of disruptive technologies that have dramatically increased not only the danger of Valhalla's destruction, but much more.
