We live in a society that wants to succeed or has a great wealth without being caught in the future. The cruel reality of America's dream is that the goal we set for them is never to prepare us for tomorrow's test. In the post apocalyptic and distropia-like work, this idea was raised over and over again; the images they painted bothered only with privileged classes nightmares. Whether apocalypse realizes these dreams. What will come to society?
In Walter M. Miller 's post - apocalyptic novel "Satirical Fiction", a group of monks living in the desert of New Mexico held knowledge of civilization in the face of social collapse. The desert monks rebuilt what they thought they were social heritage. Many of their reasoning are wrong, but they developed a series of functional truths where scientific rationality and doctrine coexist. This novel is used by Scottish philosopher Alasdell McIntyre to analyze how truth (or knowledge) works in a society that seems reasonable and points out that pursuit of truth in public life is inherently wrong doing. More importantly, McIntyre believes that if you want to understand the basic narrative clues, you can truly streamline most things. The convincing aspect of this rationalization depends on our ability to discuss and the conditions of our discourse.
The affirmation of life is the first major theme of the novel. This novel shows that "salesman" does not need to die, there is no need to live a life of others, and there is no need to follow a self-abuse strategy to protect his simple self. Life is beneficial and meaningful by "greeting the day" to enrich life. Another theme of the novel is that it is meaningless when life is dominated by love of money. Essentially, the world's business focuses on the sale of goods and services and provides currency of purchasing power. However, the business of the world is quite different from life, and the latter is connected with human beings. Through the novel, Tommy Wilhelm seeks to understand the differences between the two businesses and understand the relationship between the two businesses.
