Kallocain

Karin Boye
First published in Swedish in 1940, this novel envisioned a future of drab terror. Seen through the eyes of idealistic scientist Leo Kall, it depicts a totalitarian world state. Its central idea grew from the rumours of truth drugs that ensured the subservience of every citizen to the state.
