I absolutely adore Kafka. And he predicted this correctly. Most people’s first thought would be “what about my job”

Jfkrienke :
Not only this but he addressees the destruction of a family relationship in a capitalist system. The family relationship becomes a money relationship. Which is clearly seen through the reaction of his family when he no longer has a job

It's his book, his character.
He created Gregor .... he made Gregor be more afraid of work than the transformation.

I just dislike how people assume it was an insect, Kafka made the deliberate move to make it ambiguous, instead he used "Ungeziefer" which means "animal unfit for sacrifice" this keeps the animal ambiguous, but still maintains that Gregor was seen as lesser, and makes the dehumanisation worse somehow

It was the same in communism. It was enough to find yourself in gulag.

job equals survival in our age. In other times the majority depended on cultivating their fields, or even fishing and hunting. Who knows where we have to depend in the future, maybe AI?
