Sonnenfinsternis

AI Rating: 1/10 - Arthur Koestler's *Sonnenfinsternis* (Darkness at Noon, 1940) is an anti-totalitarian novel critiquing Stalinist purges through the story of imprisoned revolutionary Rubashov. It explores themes of ideological betrayal, confession under duress, and the individual vs. the collective, with no progressive social justice, identity politics, diversity, or inclusion messaging. Focus is purely on political philosophy and human psychology, predating modern "woke" tropes by decades.
