Anyone here read his stuff? He's a Czech writer who worked hard to deal with deep themes and still do it in a vernacular which was approachable by the masses.

A lot of his works emphasize the onslught of technology and its impact on humanity. "War With The Newts" describes a species battle between humanity and newts, unleashed by the pearl industry.

Great stuff - - horrifying, too.

Hi Frank,

I just joined this group, and I read War With The Newts 20 years ago. As I remember it, not only the human but also the newt population suffers a lot in that development. Masses forced into uniforms are degraded to a tool, amphibian or human.
