Problem: Let's ponder the intertextual relationship between Lang's "Metropolis" and Andre Maurois' odd short story "The Next Chapter: The War with the Moon" (linked on canvas on Day 3), published the very next year.
1. How does the world of the future look in "The Next Chapter"? What events and new technologies does Maurois prophesy, and who controls the world this version of the future?
2. Compare and contrast Maurois' version of the future with Lang's: how are they similar? How are they different? How do they portray advances in technology and how humans adapt to or manipulate them?
