THROUGHOUT YUKIKAZE THE... «Yukikaze»
conceptual_shark18 декабря 2020THROUGHOUT YUKIKAZE THE terms “human” and “humanlike” are set in opposition to “inhuman” and “mechanical.” First and foremost, the book’s theme is the question of what it means to be human. We are shown again and again how the enigmatic invading aliens known as the JAM are completely unlike humans, how communication with them is impossible, how there is no chance of mutual understanding. Through examining this portrait of the thoroughly inhuman JAM, we are able to discern the reverse image of what it is to be human: if to be inhuman is to have no logical method of communication, then to be human is to possess the gift of communication.
