Books Meccania, The Super-State (1918)

(000000.601:E-000000.61:N-:R-NV:C-30:V)   

Most of the book describes the fictional country of “Meccania,” a nation in Central Europe with obvious resemblances to Germany: Meccania is surrounded by “Francaria” (France), “Luniland” (Britain),”Lugrabia” (Austria) and Idiotica (Russia). Meccania is a place where dissenters are sent to mental hospitals and concentration camps. The state maintains a eugenic breeding program, and commands its common citizens when to have children. All letters are censored, and all telephone conversations are monitored. All citizens wear the uniforms of their occupational classes. Among the very complex regulations of the Super-State are those regarding control of worker fatigue: if a given worker’s calculated fatigue level is below average, he must work more hours until he is as tired as his compatriots.

The novel’s frame story is set in the future (from the novel’s perspective) year 1970. A young Chinese traveler named Ming Yuen-hwuy enters Meccania for a five-month stay. Ming’s diary and notes describe his dreary and dehumanizing sojourn in a country where the militaristic government dominates social life. Meccania, a place of “perpetual propaganda…,” presents the visitor with “an odd mixture of arrogance, xenophobia, over-punctiliousness, over-organization, chauvinism, and rigidity….” Ming is constantly observed by official guides. Ming provokes his state minders when he tries to find a newspaper; he gets into more trouble when the personal record he is required to keep does not match the records of his guides with perfect exactness.

6 Pics: When South Africa was White and VIBRANT! - The Hanging building!
This building still exists in Johannesburg. It was already built and looking great in the mid-1980s when I came to work in Johannesburg. Someone back then told me that the floors of this building are hanging. I did not quite know what to think of it, but its design is strange and when you look at the bottom, youll see the whole building is held up by a central column. (Just like those buildings of 911).

White Shop: Winds of Destruction - The best book ever written about the Rhodesian Air Force
I have read this book from end to end. This is unquestionably the best military book ever written about the Rhodesian Air Force. This is not just the story of a pilot. This is the story of a pilot who was an innovator who invented weapons and tried out all sorts of ideas. He spent a lot of time in combat as well. Jan.

I couldnt find websites calling him a Jew, but his father is stinking rich and his name does have a definite Jewish ring to it.
