The prophet about whose two novels to be afraid to speak!

Imagine a man who predicts the future, makes scientific discoveries and writes two manual novels.

This man really existed and his name was Ivan Efremov.

Surprisingly, in our free open time, during a breakthrough in visualization and massive epic cinema - his two works "The Andromeda Nebula" and "The Hour of the Ox" are afraid to be filmed. It seems that "The Andromeda Nebula" is not a convenient version of the present happy future for "opinion leaders", and "The Hour of the Bull" is a novel that mirrors the modern world. Is our albeit divided but such a stereotyped world so different from the planet Tormans? What if we are more "Tormansians" than earthlings?

In the novel "The Hour of the Ox" one can guess in the description of one planet both the modern free world and the authoritarian part.

But the world of the "Great Ring" counterbalances this. He is in touch with real life.

I think later I will make a number of articles on the work of the great writer and historian of the future Ivan Efremov.
