Back to Methuselah: A Metabiological Pentateuch - Paperback
Description
by George Bernard Shaw (Author)
In this ambitious cycle of five plays, Back to Methuselah traces the arc of civilization from biblical origins to a speculative future shaped by extreme longevity. Through philosophical dialogue, satire, and visionary themes, Shaw examines the limits of science, politics, and human potential. A bold meditation on evolution, governance, and the soul, the work stands as one of Shaw's most intellectually daring creations.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics.
