SciFi

I feel the Invention of Morel raises many questions about reality and our perspective on it. The main character in the book confuses reality. In the end the images that he acknowledged were fake became more real to him than anything else. Even the prospect of death did little to deter him from making the final leap toward unreality. It also delves into the classic argument about immortality and what it means to be human. Are these projections people? No, but nevertheless our character is able to relate to them. Morels obsession with the inventions also hints at humanities incessant desire to cheat death and live forever.
