He is forced to revise this assessment when he comes across the cave dwellings of threatening ape-like creatures known as Morlocks, whose dark underground world he must explore to discover the terrible secrets of this fractured society, and the means of getting back to his own time. A biting ... |

Autonomous and embedded systems are the infrastructural fabric of modern technological society and are present as an almost imperceptible environment to each of us. Very soon after the advent of the electronic computer in the middle of the last century, the possibilities of digital control were realized as a substitute for human control over various processes. Accordingly, their use also began - first of all in an industrial environment and in military technologies - a still relatively limited application due to the then high price of the devices themselves, and also due to the need for complex adaptation of the ... |

Andy Warhol (1928 - 1987) is hailed as the most important proponent of the Pop art movement.

Двойният албум "The Astonishing" на една от най-емблематичните рок групи в последните 30 години - "Dream Theater", обрисува идеята на ретро-футуристична-постапокалиптична антиутопия, където властва средновековният феодализъм. Избраният трябва да се бори срещу империя, дефинирана от непрекъснатия шум от машини, илюзията за безопасност и вялото подчинение.
