This little known 1901 novel by Joseph Conrad is a precursor to such works as William Golding's much later novel of the same name; the hugely popular "Matrix" movie series; and also to another (originally) dark-horse story, "THEY Live". The ahead-of-its-time idea of these tales is of a type of being - whether a new species of hominid, digitally generated superhumans, or, as here, an extra-dimensional creature - which outwardly resembles man and woman, but which, mainly by virtue of having high intelligence unburdened by emotion, slowly takes over the Earth from its more sentimental predecessors.
