Above all it is a story of discovery and evolution. Since he was little Juan is aware that he is not the same as the others and that, over time, leads him to ask himself what the true objective of his life is. At first he only has in mind that he has to fulfill his destiny at any price, but soon discovers that his actions have consequences. Although, should morality and the laws of a lower species influence the behavior of a superior?
Nothing like starting the year with a different reading, reflective and ahead of its time. It is one of the first approaches to the concept of supermen, that is, those human beings superior to the common homo sapiens. Because more than science fiction is a philosophical novel, which offers us the vision of Stapledon about today's society. The novel was written in 1935 and may at times be somewhat childish in its approach to ideas (especially when it omits some explanations that homo sapiens would not be able to understand) and, even so, the issues it addresses can be extrapolated to the present. In fact, the novel is full of interesting ideas about human evolution (homo sapiens will always remain homo sapiens until they are destroyed by themselves or by a superior force).
