characteristic of dystopia is to show the power that works for ideological reasons, and whose representatives are convinced that their actions are aimed at the introduction of universal happiness for humanity, even if it is attributed to this man's death. Humanity is not, however, the entity. These activities are addressed to all persons reporting to the authority which covers most all of a specific territory (country, isolated from the rest of the world city or the whole planet). Mechanisms of power out in antyutopiach are very close to the ways of control characteristic of modern societies. It is important for concepts such as security, territory, population, which devotes special attention to Michel Foucault.
authority we can think of, but can reach far beyond them. The authority we can think of, nothing pulls more unfettered hands - can walk away with time and accompanying burden of being.
End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov is a novel published in 1955, its action takes place in a distinctively timeless pojmowanym - outside the so-called state. fizjoczasem, which is sometimes a natural: the Eternity. Asimov's Eternity in this space, but also a kind of institution in which men are present uprooted from his home time. Prospective employees of Eternity as a teenage boys have been subjected to selection. Those who were elected, they came to Eternity. Their tasks include taking action to interfere with certain segments of history. Deprived of his home, space and time, who knows, they are forced to live with the knowledge that - if they were to return to their reality - they can no longer meet the family. Not because the others died, but because the changes made in earlier eras could not exist at all. Men therefore remains honorable service for Eternity. Nothing more.
so-called changes Reality Asimov in the novel, however, are made - unlike in Orwell's 1984 where the Ministry of Truth, in spite of all the bureaucratic-disciplining terrifying aura consisted mainly fiction and produced a series of lies, to believe in that, although forced everyone, but that changed the only truth (sic) in zindoktrynizowanych, debilitated people's minds - the naked reality of matter. In the history of interfering in real terms, its course is changed really, so: people die who might otherwise live to old age, do not get to know people who would be able to love, children are not born that could arise. However, in this way also avoids the various wars and natural disasters.
shown in Asimov's time is linear, the reader does not have so much difficulty with the practice of imagining this. Its horror is revealed highly suggestive. In history, where there is eternity, there is no room for indecision units: is it an observer, sociologist, calculator, statistics, or making changes Reality technology. The goals are laudable, indeed, too, to subject them into question. "What Wiecznościowcy consider what is good?" - Asks Andrew Harlan, the protagonist of the novel, his beloved Noys and responds - "I'll tell you. Peace and security. Moderation. Any excesses. Without any risk absolutely certain that everything will succeed. " Clearly, the ideals of the representatives of this system does not differ specifically from the ideals presented in other antyutopijnych realities.
VC century native of Harlan is passionate about the history of the so-called. Primitive, ie the year prior to the XXIV age at which a Temporary Field was discovered. Temporary Field was basis for the creation of Eternity and to allow the associated travel time between the parts. Harlan sees a striking difference between the sometimes primitive and later eras. "From time to time was lost in a world where life was life and death, death, where people make decisions that are irrevocable (...). And then it was difficult, almost shocking return of thought to Eternity and a world in which reality is something flexible and fast disappearing, something that people like himself, may maintain in his hands and forge a better form. "
omnipotence Wiecznościowców turns out to be illusory. Prior to the intrusion and interference of the weapon so effectively. Hidden Century, to which workers are not allowed in Eternity. It's there - from the outside, as always in this type of novels - will someone who will negate the benefits of the system base. This time it will be a woman whose actions will help lead to the destruction of Eternity. This time, the power of love (and somewhat underestimated, unfortunately, the power of persuasion) to win the seeming omnipotence cold, inhuman, bureaucratic mechanisms based on the order.
time, which is running Harlan, is flexible. It's something you can constantly change and shape. No decision is not binding and permanent. In a sense, life becomes aware of wiecznościowców light.
