Summary/Abstract: In the era of Tito’s Yugoslavia hardly was there a comparable intellectual undertaking in Serbia that exploded so powerfully and authentically in 1981. Dictionary was also a premiere intellectual critic – a herald of the coming era of humanity that would be marked with an acceleration of civilization, dehumanization of technology in direct function of the pacification of the world masses and their submission to aggressive voraciousness of the big corporations in the time of wars for resources. Clairvoyance of the authors of Dictionary was lonely in that time, and did not get, in the East, nor in the West, any intellectual support, despite the strength of their protreptic messages, but it was, contrariwise, exposed to unreasonable governmental-party retribution.
