Story: In this futurist story, there are obrvations of human nature which are as refreshing today as when they were written in 1911. Leacock describes a world where the inhabitants are clad in long-wearing suits of asbestos; where death has been eliminated, although a person can be broken; and where only a vestigial memory of Work remains, anything requiring effort was accomplished centuries ago - in short, a perfect world it is.

Pain, anxiety, failure and sacrifice will still be part of human experience. Indeed, a world without the is not only impossible, but also undesirable. The genre of the story is a genre common in the West during the 20th century, which could be called “literary dystopia” (the opposite of Utopia) The Man in Asbestos paints the future in darkly pessimistic colors. In the “new society” prented by Leacock, there is no hunger, war, or dia; natural disasters and gender inequality have been eliminated, but life is dull, empty and meaningless. Style: The story was originally told by the strange man and retold by Jorkens. The whole story is written in the direct speech, thus the write adopts a colloquial style. | |
