The Myth of Sisyphus
Albert Camus
The book presents an existentialist philosophy that explores the absurdity of human life and the notion that seeking meaning in a meaningless world is inherently contradictory. It uses the Greek myth of Sisyphus, condemned to eternally roll a boulder uphill only for it to roll down again, as a metaphor for the human condition and our pursuit of significance in the face of an indifferent universe.
