What if humans were replaced by machines? The Spanish writer Miguel de Unamuno tells the story of a man lost in the desert who has a vision of a place that, like the desert, seems full and empty, finite and infinite, silent and oppressive, a world populated by machines. 

In the comments we talk about artificial intelligence, and explore Unamuno's opposition to the idealization of science.
