Return From The Stars by Stanislaw Lem
In this thought-provoking science fiction novel, an astronaut returns to Earth after a 127-year mission, only to find a world transformed beyond recognition. Society has undergone radical changes, prioritizing safety and comfort over risk and adventure, leading to the eradication of violence and the suppression of human instincts. As he struggles to adapt to this new reality, he grapples with feelings of alienation and nostalgia for a past that no longer exists, raising profound questions about the cost of progress and the essence of humanity.
