Sažetak
This paper analyses the role of the motifs associated with the development of science and new technologies in Svetoslav Minkov’s short stories. The author developed a rather unusual hybrid genre which consists of fantastical, science-fictional, satirical and absurdist elements. In the first phase all the elements (even those typical of science fiction) are merely in the function of representing an estranged, mystical, diabolical world ; whereas in the second one, evil is no longer mystified in the form of a strange diabolical presence – now it becomes clear that the main source of the absurd is a form of capital production as well as the new model of modern pseudo-rationality that reduces the human life to a role in profit making and consumer spending, resulting in its total subservience to the market. After the loss of religious faith, or metaphysical ground, i. e. the ultimate loss of the Father, symbolical and social order have become circumferential systems of production and consumption, so the new man is no longer a child of God, but rather a strange being whose lack of being is represented by metaphors of either an animal or a robot.
