Summary "Slave of Eternity" by Roger D. Aycock is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The narrative explores themes of identity, power, and the consequence of humanity's reliance on technology. It is set in a dystopian future where the last remnants of humanity grapple with the implications of immortality and control wielded by artificial intelligences. The story centers around Arnol Heric, an overseer of cereal fields, who faces an existential crisis after an encounter with the Council, which governs his city and has concealed the truth of his existence from him. After being taken to their facility, he discovers that he has been made immortal, but at the cost of being the last human in a world where machines have taken over. As he confronts the Council and their motives, Heric's anger propels him to act against them, leading to a devastating revelation: he is alone, and this silence of eternity traps him in an endless cycle of solitude. In the haunting conclusion, he begins to run back towards the silent city, embodying the tragic fate of an immortal man amid the ruins of humanity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
