Satire. Description of our time, known as Mouldwarp, from the point of view of a far future society (after A.D. 3700), that has a very imperfect understanding of the past. In that society, Plato, described as \“the great orator of London,\” presents wildly inaccurate public orations describing Mouldwarp but when he gains a more accurate picture of the past, he is persecuted.
