Once I discussed a similar subject in some newsgroups, and I had to fight
against the opinion that Verne would, in some today's novels, glorify the
nuclear plants in every village... I tried to explain how wrong it is to
consider Verne as glorificator of technology and machines, but actually I
saw that Verne's antiutopian novels are not known so well, and not knowing
them can give a wrong picture... But for careful reader, his top-novels also
cannot be considered as technological novels - see what happened at the end,
with Nautilus, with Albatros, with Standard Island... What confuses me in
Verne's "ecological engagment", is his afirmative atitude to hunting...
