Jack Kerouac’s On the road and Julio Cortazar’s South Highway (La Autopista del Sur) are the masterpieces of American literature of the last century, based on their respective times, they have conducted in-depth discussions on the future of mankind, the state, the nation and society as individuals, and they all believe that the alienation of time and space has hindered people’s exploration of the future of Nations and the ultimate fate of mankind, so these two works reflect the two writers based on the social background of the thinking and solutions given. But their efforts turned into bidirectional retrograde utopian illusions.
