Automata Summary

Let me tell you that a phenomenon which the incredulous have classed without a moment's hesitation as fabulous, has just been verified by this company. We wished to see whether the pendulum swings of a suspended ring can be controlled by the concentrated human will. I undertook to fix my will upon it; and thought as hard as I could of circular oscillations. The ring, which is fixed to the ceiling by a silk thread, remained motionless for a very longtime, but at last it began to swing, and it was just beginning to go in circles when you came in and interrupted us."

It is a fantastic creation by Hoffmann where he has displayed the darker side of the human spirit. His philosophical implications are crystal clear in the narration with his probing intelligence and pictorial sense. Commonsensical and logical it valves the readerĘs mind till the end. Interesting!
