Both world politics and social relations were depending on the concepts of progress , beneficial changes , faith in the logical , enlightenment , hi-tech progress , and the potential to explain any activity from a logical viewpoint .

We easily note all changes which are brought to us by new technology, but we almost never come to realize the fact that there are some thoughts which the author has put behind those technological solutions. The core of the expected change was first noticed by those people, who as a rule of thumb lived ahead of their time – writers and authors. Among the many authors whose books have served for amusement , there have been a few who have given people a new picture of the future . They have more effectively than others other people created and worded fresh ideas and have ultimately done a new intellectual and perceptual grounding of the future.

They have aided us to realize the new issues , and gave us new ambitions .
