Voltaire wrote this little piece of science fiction for the French reading public after Jonathan Swift wrote Gulliver's Travels for the English Reading public. Both books make some good observations about the age of enlightenment and the invention of the microscope.

Are we currently going through some scientific speculation due to the invention of the computer where speculation is spread at the speed of light?
