"The Glass Bees" is a science fiction novel written by the German author Ernst Jünger in 1957. When first published in English in 1960, critics dismissed the book's vision as lacking contemporary relevance. More recently, however, writers and critics have hailed this novel's "speculations on technology and industry as so prescient as to be uncanny." [Harvnb|Sterling|2000|p= ???]
