A jövő század regénye, 2. rész

In a distant future, the city of Otthon has blossomed on a modest 42‑by‑42‑hectare parcel, swelling to a million inhabitants in a generation. Its streets are ordered like a garden, each block filled with experimental crops from five continents, turning the city into a living laboratory. The story follows the city's drive to master nature with steam‑powered irrigation, artificial fertilisers, and climate‑control towers that shield fields from frost and flood. As the reader moves through the bustling canals and glass‑roofed farms, the tale asks whether such engineered abundance can ever replace the unpredictable rhythms of the natural world.

Beyond the cultivated terraces, Otthon’s factories have shed their smoky past, adopting sleek, low‑emission designs that blend into the surrounding green. The transformation from a traditional agrarian settlement to a self‑sustaining “agricultural metropolis” raises questions about the cost of progress, the role of human ingenuity, and the fragile balance between technology and ecology. Listeners are invited to explore a society where science and community intertwine, and where the promise of perpetual harvest hangs in the air like the scent of fresh bread.
