Less well-known now are his highly influential works of science fiction. The Absolute at Large (1927) stems from the Pantheistic premise that God ---- God ---- The Absolute ---- is present in all of Nature's forms. In the story, Marek a scientist, invents a machine (the Karburator) which harnesses the full energy of the atom, but in demolishing it releases the Pantheistic God it housed.". Ex-Library.
