Underground Man

by Gabriel Tarde

About this book

Humanity retreats underground as the cooling sun makes life on the surface impossible. The surviving civilization develops new habits, institutions, and relationships in a world where its former conditions of life no longer apply.

Tarde explores how art, work, love, and cooperation change within this subterranean society. The account follows the reconstruction of human life through the possibilities and constraints of an entirely different environment.
