A Living Soul - P C Jersild

Ypsilon Is A Human Being Reduced To The Most Basic Essentials, A Naked One-eyed Brain Floating In An Aquarium Of Nutritious Liquid. Through His Consciousness We Observe His Obstinate Struggles To Maintain His Freedom Of Action In This Utterly Dependent Situation - To Assert The Right To Express His Anger, To Fall In Love, To Run Away - Whilst It Slowly Dawns On Him That He Is A Part Of A Wide-ranging Scientific Experiment. In This Fantasy About A Society Which Is Scientifically Only Slightly More Advanced Than Our Own, The Swedish Novelist P C Jersild Explores The Resilience Of The Human Spirit Set Against The Threatening Big Brother Of Technological Progress.
