1. Limbo
"Limbo" is a thought-provoking science fiction novel set in a post-apocalyptic future where the world has been ravaged by nuclear war. In this society, the concept of disarmament has been taken to an extreme, with individuals voluntarily amputating their limbs and relying on robotic prosthetics as a means to prevent further violence. The narrative follows the journey of a psychologist who, after returning from a self-imposed exile, grapples with the moral and ethical implications of this new form of self-mutilation, which is seen as a path to personal and global peace. The book delves into themes of human nature, the psychology of violence, and the quest for utopia, challenging readers to consider the price of peace and the nature of humanity's relationship with technology.
