Livrinho divertido de ficção futurológica de 1896. A humanidade atinge uma pax romana e avança tecnologicamente, mas o sol falha e a solução é ir para dentro do planeta. O narrador descreve, jocoso, as etapas e sociedade resultante, com aqui e ali experimentos mentais de sociologia. É porque tudo pereceu e congelou que o homem, sozinho, passa a viver no puro social, na arte da imitação criativa.

A wonderful book of less than 100 pages. Tarde was a key figure in sociology that seems to have been displaced by those who preferred Durkheim. It is unfortunate because there is a profound depth of insight in his work that is relevant to today's science. The individual and in fact all apparent 'unities' are really 'societies' all the way down.

I was alerted to the contributions of Tarde by Bruno Latour. This is well worth the read.
