SELF DESTRUCTION!



Blue, blue, blue pictures of you... That is the name of the story presented by prof. Vielma. In the story, contemporary issues were developed by the author when he presents the middle-age crisis. He portrays through two different characters, different lifestyle which are linked by something in common: drugs. After a series of conflicts, both men ended up envying each other's lifestyles and pitying because of their own one. That as a typical human behavior, human beings sometimes do not treasure what they have and want to have what others do.
We also read a story written by the SF writer Frederick Pohl, this story is called Fermi and Frost. It questions the use or better the misuse of technology against humanity. The setting is the world, specifically USA and Iceland during and after World War III. The narrator presents two possible endings giving the chance to the reader to select the ending he wants for the story.
In both texts, the destruction of the human being as a consequences of his own decisions is stated.
