Kallocain

Item no. CA649130087

Boye, Karin

Kallocain is a vision of the future in a police-controlled and militarized surveillance society. With his truth drug, chemist Leo Kall has found a way into the souls of the citizens. It turns out that most harbor intense dreams of rebellion against the World State and a desire for the Desert City – a distant place of freedom and love. Leo Kall begins to doubt the State himself and questions his role as a loyal soldier. Karin Boye, with Kallocain, painted a picture of 1984, almost a decade before George Orwell. A chilling dystopia, but at the same time a belief in humanity's ability to create another, vibrant world.
