About this book
In the early 1950s, a wave of optimism swept through post-war society, igniting debates about progress and the future of humanity. "Blessed Event" by Henry Farrell offers a satirical exploration of these themes through the lens of an extraordinary birth—the million quadrillionth child, endowed with remarkable intelligence. This novel cleverly critiques societal expectations and the implications of genius, while engaging with concepts of identity and responsibility. Ideal for students and civic activists, "Blessed Event" invites readers to reflect on the nature of intelligence and the societal structures surrounding it. With its sharp wit and thought-provoking narrative, this work remains a relevant commentary on human potential and the complexities of modern life.
