THE GLASS BEAD GAME, set futuristically in an elite scholarly community, is undoubtedly Hermann Hesse's
greatest prose composition, and one which took the philosophical novel to new heights of intellectual sophistication. John
O'Loughlin has coupled this great work to one of his original projects entitled THE FUTURE TRANSFORMATIONS QUARTET - for books
of multigenre (essays, dialogues, aphorisms and/or maxims) philosophy that he wrote back in the early '80s at a time when
his philosophizing had just entered on the path of maturity that was to lead to Social Transcendentalism and to the 'coming
out' of a full-fledged post-humanism aimed at superhuman not to say supra-human resolution. Check out this or the Hesse masterpiece
