About this book
In a mid-20th century landscape marked by societal upheaval and existential dread, "Age of Anxiety" by Robert Silverberg delves into a future where the quest for tranquility leads to a pervasive reliance on pharmaceuticals. This thought-provoking science fiction novel examines the implications of a culture that prioritizes emotional numbness over genuine experience, highlighting the struggle between personal choice and societal expectation. With themes of maturity and the consequences of escapism, Silverberg crafts a narrative that resonates with the anxieties of modern life. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, this work challenges readers to reflect on the nature of freedom and the cost of comfort in an increasingly complex world.
