Resumen
Albert Robida and Rachilde, while representing different aesthetics and philosophies, meet in a very pessimistic vision of future society, based on their observation of contemporary life. They denounce the dangers of progress which results in society’s leveling and technological development, leading to the detriment of humanist ideas. Nature disappears from this futuristic universe and the individual becomes a cog in the machine of science and technology, closely controlled by the state. Under the pretext ofcommon happiness, individual freedoms disappear. In the name of security, everyone is forced to follow the same lifestyle. Writers at the end of the 19th century thus arrive at findings surprisingly close to the analyses of disciplinary society and «the gardening state», conducted respectively by Michel Foucault and by Zygmunt Bauman.
