Book Review

Frank Herbert's «The Green Brain» is a science fiction novel that explores the theme of human interaction with nature and the consequences of interfering with ecosystems. The book is set in a future where humanity attempts to control nature through technology, eradicating insects deemed a threat. However, these actions give rise to a new form of life—the Green Brain, a collective insect intelligence that begins to resist human interference. Critics note that Herbert masterfully creates a tense atmosphere and raises important ecological questions that remain relevant today. His writing style is marked by depth and a philosophical approach to issues, making the novel not only engaging but also thought-provoking about the future of our planet. Some reviewers find the book challenging due to its abundance of scientific terms and concepts, but overall it leaves a strong impression and is an important contribution to the science fiction genre.
