Second volume of two following 2021 Chambers, A Psalm for the Weild-Built. In this volume, Dex and Mosscap travel across Panga visiting people trying to get the answer to the question the robots have of what do humans need and how can the robots help. They first visit a prosperous woodland village, then an equally prosperous riverside village, a small oceanside settlement that is strongly against technology, and the monk\’s family, before heading toward their intended last stop, the City. But they take a detour during which they consider what they have learned. One practice appears to be the standard means of exchange, the Peb or Digital Pebble which are given by one person for a service rendered and then that person gives it to another for their service, all recorded on pocket computers. Dex explains that \“the point of a peb exchange is to acknowledge someone\’s labor and thank them for what they bring to the community\” (38).

The story describes three societies, one a completely oppressive, hierarchical dystopia, one an anarchist eutopia where all the peoples of the galaxy are welcome and treated equally, and Dyanna, which has tendencies in both directions. The story is told through a bicycle race with a team from each planet taking place on all three planets plus a deserted Fourth World, which are alternate versions of the same present. The protagonist is a black woman with a prosthetic leg and only one good eye. In some way, the race is intended to prevent an interdimensional war. It begins on Planet One, the technically advanced dystopia with smooth metal roads, whose riders look identical, have only a number which identifies superiority and inferiority, and apparently is planning an invasion of the other Earths. The second planet, Dynnya, is a coalition of over a thousand planets. They are primarily agrarian, have no central authority and extremely advanced biotechnology, with most of the planets having no private property, and there has been no war in many thousands of years.

First volume of a trilogy that illustrates the problems of establishing and maintaining eutopia based on a world-wide electoral system that fosters micro-democracies. Among the problems are corruption and political maneuvering among the groups vying for electoral success at the level of global government.

New York: Tom Doherty Associates, 2017, three different plots, in Darfur, Geneva, and Central Asia, pose challenges to the system.\ As the title suggests, in the final volume, State Tectonics: The Centenal Cycle, Book 3.

Dystopia. After a nuclear war, Minnesota becomes independent under the rule of the old politicians and business leaders, who controlled both the political system and the economy and undermined education to make it serve their purposes. They set up a program using Minnesota\’s biomedical expertise to provide the world with medicine, breeding people with genetic enhancements, and establishing a means of judging whether a person is worth keeping alive and killing those judged not. The novel\’s protagonist is a healthy older woman judged not worth keeping alive and her successful resistance that uncovers the breeding program and overthrows the dystopia. The novel ends with the difficult transition from authoritarian rule, a normal economy, the re-establishment of the education system, the problems raised by integrating the \“breeders\” produced by the genetics program.

Libertarian eutopia. The mountain states of the U.S. plus Alaska and western Canada secede and form a new country, the Western Range and Mountains--known as the Range. The central institution, designed in part to keep population growth under control, is that every person must have a certain minimum amount of land, initially provided by parceling out public lands. Those who fall below the minimum are forced to leave. Since the rest of North America is a poverty-stricken, violent dystopia, this rule is effective.

Ecological, communal eutopia set in 2999. The eutopia arose after the complete collapse of the world\’s ecology, and there is a movement to reinstitute the policies that led to the collapse. There is a flourishing communal movement, and the novel follows one elderly communard as he fights the changes and visits some of the communal sites affiliated with his home community in the forest in Oregon. All but one of the urban sites of this community is paired with a rural one. The community is mostly vegetarian and much of the more-or-less flat land open to the sun are organic gardens. Everyone is expected to work about fifteen hours a week, and if they do so at any of the communities\’ home sites \“they can be assured of all of life\’s basic material needs\” (13). Everyone has a private space. All adults assume responsibility for all the children, who, due to the isolation of the community, are home-schooled, although many children choose to transfer to an urban community to attend school. The community is expected to care for the land and the watershed, maintain trails, respond to forest fires, and so forth, and if it does so and reside on the land continuously for twenty years, it is granted permanent use. The first part of the novel includes an extremely detailed description of the Oregon community and daily life there, and then follows the protagonist to Portland, Oregon, which is described as \“A Natural City\”. Much of the rest part of the novel is driven by an attempt to return to the policies that led to the collapse and the resistance to it. Although most people live to about 150, the world population is stabilized at 1.7 billion and the size of cities is shrinking. Energy is solar, biofuels, windmills, small hydro generators, and other means depending on the location and weather patterns. Buildings are built to last hundreds of years. The average life span is 153 years. All public transportation in North America is free. Universal freedom to travel anywhere in the world. The author lived in an intentional community in Oregon for five years.

In 2030, with signing a recognized language, a deaf teacher of history in the London Model Deaf School, is teaching his last class before retirement. In it he tells a story about the struggle against oralism, an attempt to impose oralism, the requirement that the deaf speak and cannot sign. In the novel, the story is fantasy and science fiction, but it was inspired by the Second International Congress on the Education of the Deaf held in Milan in 1880 that concluded that speech rather than signing was the best approach to deaf education. The delegates from Great Britain and the United States voted against the resolutions. There was only one deaf delegate to the conference. Signing was banned in many schools for the deaf and deaf teachers lost their jobs. Some schools chose to keep signing, and, of course, many deaf students continued to sign among themselves. The novel ends with the suggest that attempts to impose oralism will continue. There is a \“Visual Glossary\” illus.

The alien society has based its social structure on a false reading of an ancient fresco covered in centuries of accumulated dirt. Cleaning the fresco threatens to destroy the society, which is based on the idea that each person has one and only one appropriate social role. On the basis of tradition outweighing truth, the fresco is repainted to reflect the traditional version. The Earth gains a eutopia of civility.

The brief novel presents two worlds, both of which can be considered flawed utopias with an abrupt shift between the two and an equally abrupt ending. The first, Antiochus, is a high-tech society with no nations, no racial issues due to interbreeding, a carefully maintained ecology. Women deal with public matters, men mostly with the domestic. But everyone is entirely focused on themselves with no interest in others and production declining and lots of accidents and no one cares. The other, Earth in 2379, has all intellectuals on the moon and everyone on the surface of the Earth is focused on their bodies. Gender equality. Solar power. Not really developed.

First volume in a young adult trilogy followed by her Eye of the Comet. New York: Harper \& Row, 1984; and Homesmind. New York: Harper \& Row, 1984. This volume takes place in a future that has rejected technology or, to their way of thinking, outgrown it. People live in small villages, communicate only by telepathy, are telekinetic, and can fly. Those born without these abilities are killed. Each person must go through an individual rite of passage, and the protagonist is going through hers when she meets a boy who has descended to Earth from a comet in which he lives. He is from the without telepathic powers who were people left behind and fled Earth to live on comets in space. Eye of the Comet focuses on a young woman who is set the task by Homesmind, a cybernetic mind, of reconciling the two societies. Homesmind concludes with the conflict between the two worldviews and its impact on the various protagonists.

Nine large corporations \"keep the resources flowing, provide the services, and thereby run the lives of just about everybody\" (5). Earth is overpopulated and searching for places to offload surplus population. One planet that an explorer lands on radically transforms the human body into something like a horned kangaroo called the Chozen or Choz that lives in peaceful communities that seem eutopian in that there is plenty for all and little pain and death is rare. But they breed rapidly and overpopulation and conflict loom. The Chozen spread to all human worlds, and the humans become Chozen.

The novel begins in an anarchist eutopia with some problems on a future, overpopulated, polluted, but high-tech Earth contrasted with Mars, which focuses on law and order. The protagonist of the novel is an anarchist woman in her late twenties living on Earth who can speak Syth, the language of aliens who threaten Earth and Mars. She is hired by the Committee for the Revolution to meet on Mars with Syth leaders to negotiate a truce, which is complicated by the fact that the Syth consider females inferior. The novel begins in Manhattan, which is below the surface of the ocean and is a tourist destination, and then moves to the largely underground, dome-covered, New York, where the woman lives in a commune and looks for temporary jobs to pay her minimal expenses. Men have a \“plug\” to keep them from impregnating a woman and must have a signed document from a woman to have the plug temporarily removed. The Committee for the Revolution has become a \“vestigial government\” to which people turn rather than dealing with problems themselves (10/Gollancz 2011, 10/Gollancz 2000, 12). The novel moves quickly to interstellar conflict.

The central volume of the author\’s series the LaNague Chronicles. Mostly science fiction adventure, but it includes a \“neo-anarchist\” eutopia, more accurately a libertarian eutopia with \“a bare minimum of public institutions: police, judiciary, penal, and administration\” (79). In the author\’s introduction to The LaNague Chronicles. Ed. and sequenced by the author. New York: Baen Books, 1992, he says that his ideas were inspired by Ludwig Von Mises (1881-1973), the Austrian economist who lived and worked in the U. S. from 1940 and Murray Rothbard (1926-1995), a U. S. member of the Austrian School of economics and one of the founders of the von Mises Institute, or, as Wilson puts it, \“a rational anarchist, an advocate of laissez fire, a radical capitalist\” (viii). In the introduction, he characterizes the LaNague Federation as encouraging \“any type of society, no matter how bizarre or crazy the philosophy at its core. . . . With a single proviso: free egress must exist at all times. Anyone who wants to opt out of that society must be allowed to do so\” (viii-ix).

Feminist eutopia composed only of women, mostly clones but with a few new genotypes still being created, confronts men returning from a long space voyage. The eutopia came because an epidemic caused widespread infertility and no male babies were born. It has a small population and is without hierarchy or government and, while it has space travel, it is based more on agriculture than technology. The three men include an extreme chauvinist, a Christian who believes that God established a patriarchal system, and one man who struggles to understand and accept the situation.

Detailed capitalist eutopia containing a complete constitution (49-128). A review of the book by Robert L. Meiers, M.D. was published in The Capitalist Country Newsletter in 1.2 (August 1968): [1-3], a journal edited by Oliver. The book was meant to outline the reasons for and constitution of a new country that he called Minerva that the author hoped to establish and for which he minted a coinage. He found a reef near Tonga, and in 1971 built it up with dredged sand, built a concrete platform, planted a flag, and declared the Republic of Minerva. In 1972 the King of Tonga emptied its one prison and took the prisoners to the reef, where they destroyed the platform.

Married couples never see each other nude, and sex is considered an unpleasant duty. Uniforms indicate class with badges to indicate rank, and even access to elevators is by rank.

Most people are specialists, and the protagonist is a linguist who is sent to one such planet with the avowed purpose of learning about the indigenous population. But his real mission is to find and excuse for exterminating them. The dystopia provides the background to a story about interspecies love.

Gulliver type on an unknown planet. There is one dystopian country of humanoid plants and one dystopian country of vicious, warlike giants. Another country is a satire on the United States in the early 1950s with specific reference to Senator Joseph McCarthy (1908-57) and his anti-Communist crusade. The novel ends with an inegalitarian eutopia in which each person takes on the physical characteristics of their position in society. The society recognizes no absolutes. Its aims to practice freedom from religion, from vegetarians, from temperance, from feminism, and from progress as well as freedom of difference and freedom of laughter. Its chief ideal is increasing awareness. Includes a discussion and rejection of the concept of utopia (304-07). The beginning of the novel and the Epilogue are set on a post-World War 4 physically devastated but overpopulated Earth dominated by the American Empire.\

Dystopia. The development of effective fusion power means that anything can be produced cheaply and the human race goes on a production and consumption binge. Over time consumption does not keep up with production, and laws are passed to require consumption. This results in a status system in which the poor must consume at a higher rate than the rich. The story is about a poor man who solves the problem by creating robots that can both produce and consume.

Reformed capitalist eutopia, known as the Plateau Republic, founded in Africa by an American. The basic idea is a voluntary limits on profit that the publisher of the book had developed where \“managers of industrial enterprises and all those engaged in trade should state in advance a fee (so much per year) with which they will content themselves and prorate all surplus profits to the buyer in accordance with the amount of his purchases\” (5-6). Labor unions are permitted. Workers receive a base pay sufficient to support a family and give college education to children. Single tax on land is the only and is used to pay government expenses. The author refers to Henry George (1839-97) but rejects the specifics of George\’s single tax. A strong colonialist mentality pervades the book.\ Although the eutopia is brought about by a single, rich man, references are made throughout the book to Arthur Twining Hadley (1856-1930), an economist and President of Yale University as supporting the basic theory.

Mostly a lost race adventure set in a future after 2100. Includes, at the beginning, a brief picture of the eutopian future stressing both technology and politics. Atlantis has been discovered, Atlantean records show a rich continent near the North Pole, and an expedition is mounted to find it. Alaska is now warm. The American Republic includes most of North America and has four capitals, including Yu-kon-il-i-a in Alaska. No one can vote who cannot pass a test on the principles of republican government. No one can be elected to office without a certificate of good character. The expedition includes \"several professors from Indian and negro colleges\" (4). Women hold office. Technologically advanced. The expedition quickly discovers people of the lost country, some of whom are highly civilized and one of whom is evil. The novel then becomes a typical lost race adventure.

In the section \“What Socialism Is\” (202-411) describes in detail the utopia that socialism could become including a lengthy discussion of the Farm Colonies (263-277) that play an important role in Demetrian. The author was a lawyer who spent most of his life in Europe and was, at his death, Lecturer on Municipal Government at Columbia University. Shortly before his death, he was planning to join Upton Sinclair\’s (1878-1968) Helicon Hall community in New Jersey. The Penn State copy includes a photocopy of an excerpt from the chapter on Kelly in James Gilbert, \“Edmond Kelly and the Socialism of Order.\” Designing the Industrial State: The Intellectual Pursuit of Collectivism in American, 1880-1940 (Chicago, IL: Quadrangle Books, 1972), 125-158, 301-303.

Eutopia describing an alternative settlement of the Americas. The author says that it is based on More\’s Utopia (88-92), but there are few similarities. The eutopia is based on Ralph Morton, one of the settlers of Jamestown, discovering a large gold deposit. Hiding his discovery from other settlers, he purchased land around the deposit and establishes a new colony that he names Mortonia (later changed to Aristopia) and appoints himself Governor for Life. He is presented as a benevolent dictator. Concerned to keep people from enriching themselves at the expense of others. Therefore, except for Morton, there is no private ownership of land, but land could be leased for a period of time determined by Morton. All buying and selling through public bodies and stores. Abolished primogeniture; limited inheritance. All roads and bridges public property. Laws proposed by an elected Congress but had to be approved by Morton. Widows over 30 could vote; women over 20 could vote for school officials. Reforming of criminals. Compulsory public education. Ultimately Aristopia comes to incorporate the rest of the U.S. and Canada.

The story begins with a detailed description of a eutopia set in 1920. The eutopia was brought about following the almost successful invasion of the U.S. by Germany. The country is prosperous, the cities are being systematically improved, as are the fine arts and the national park system. Religious toleration has been established. Voluntary euthanasia has been instituted. Elements of racism in that racial and ethnic problems have been solved by limiting immigration, expelling all foreign-born Jews, establishing a separate Negro state, and recruiting Indians into separate squadrons in the military. The story then shifts to the protagonist\’s belief that he is the descendent of American royalty and that he is fated to rule.

The eutopia is on Mercury. Life is centered on the parish and in the parish on the communal hall, which is always open. Each hall has a library, museum, etc., and education takes place there through contact with educated people. Disputes are adjudicated there, contracts and marriages announced, plays performed, etc. Everyone works at a variety jobs. There are no taxes, no holidays, and estates vest in the parish on death. Only about 50\% of the people marry. Marriage is seen as a partnership of equals and divorce is easy and frequent.

Much of the novel is concerned with family life in the American South before the Civil War and about events during the war, but about halfway through the focus sporadically shifts to an isolated island that is settled by a set of well-provisioned castaways, who had been deliberately marooned for opposing the Confederacy. The castaways were three men, including one stereotyped black man, who did the cooking and carried the provisions but is described as a friend. They sail to another island that has not had contact with the outside world since the early seventeenth century, speaks the English of that period, and has created a largely egalitarian eutopia. At twenty-one, a man gets a tract of land. Upon marriage, a house is built. Six-hour workday for men; no outside labor for women. No money. No alcohol. No crime. All change is prohibited, but the arrival of the outsiders poses problems.

An inventor of genius discovers how to create organic matter from inorganic matter; hence, the rice mills. Having a monopoly, the man became immensely rich, and the Northwest developed rapidly, but the man died young. His will gives his shipping interests to the men who worked the ships, the rice mill in trust to the State of Washington, and his other property to the city. But the whole thing was a fraud designed to hide free trade with other countries, which is what had actually enriched him.

Chapter XV \“The City of Freeland\” is a description of an industrial town and farm community run for the benefit of the workers. Land is free, and this is the key. Security in the land comes from improving it. No women or children in factory work. \“Their natural protectors are able to support them and would feel disgraced if they had to ask their children to assist them in earning a living.\” Employers and workers both benefit. Farmers supply the city; as a result, they are not under the heel of the railroads. \“Here the farmer is the suburban resident of the city. His well-paved roads are but extensions of the city streets.\” No saloons. Stress on the power of public opinion. Gets rid of the middleman. In the last chapter of the book, the Freeland model has extended to the entire country. Also includes \“The Sequel to Robinson Crusoe.\” Rpt. in The Nationalization News: The Journal of the Nationalization of Labour Society.

Crusoe sees the light and free access to land produces a eutopia. The utopia Ten Men of Money Island (1884) by Seymour F. Norton (b. 1841) is a sequel, and according to Michael Fl{\"u}rscheim (1844-1912), he wrote his utopia The Real History of Money Island (1896) in response to the inadequacies of Norton.

A sleeper wakes in 2000 and finds significant economic and political reform and major improvements in technology but little social change. The face of the United States has been changed by the sinking of the middle west and the formation of a central sea in its place and by the acquisition of all lands south to Panama and north to the Arctic. There is a 20\% limit on profit, but the employer is allowed to set wages (no unions), which has raised wages. The government is largely financed out of excess profit. No one can hold more than 640 acres (1 square mile), and no foreigners may hold land at all. The government owns all the utilities and the railroad system. The profit on these activities also helps finance the government. No political parties. Juries abolished.

Heaven as a eutopia in line with the Swedish thinker Emanuel Swedenborg (1668-1772) and the American spiritualist Andrew Jackson Davis (1826-1910), who published descriptions of what he called the Summer Land in a number of books between 1847 and 1878. The Gates Ajar presents a heaven in which one is reunited with relatives and gives a glimpse of a more fulfilling life for the female protagonist. Between the Gates is the eutopia of the series in that it is explicitly a criticism of the current social order as it affects women and shows a Heaven in which women can lead fulfilling lives. The third volume, Beyond the Gates, focuses on a domineering man who is reformed in heaven. The Gates Ajar provoked considerable controversy. Attacks include J.S.W. Antidote to \“The Gates Ajar\”.

Heaven as eutopia presented as non-fiction. There are different heavens for different countries, a heaven for Native American Indians, and, within the U.S. heaven, a separate one for African Americans. There is also a hierarchy of heavens and people move up the hierarchy as they progress, and it is noted that the color of African Americans becomes lighter as they progress. Details are given of the cities and the housing including the furniture, but the higher heavens are more rural than urban. Robert Dale Owen (1801-77), the son of Robert Owen (1771-1858), is represented as communicating with the protagonist through a medium and, though he is in a lower heaven, he visits higher heavens and reports on them. The eighteenth heaven manufactures goods for the others.

On the first page, the author says, \“The writer of this poem aims at the moral improvement of the reader. Chiefly he would inculcate the love of civil and religious liberty,--of justice,--of peace and mercy,--of temperance. These virtues cannot come single. He would also encourage public enterprise--ardor in undertaking, and perseverance in accomplishing.\” Using the theory of John Cleves Symmes (1780-1829), the interior of the Earth immediately under America consists of six concentric Orbs that have been linked by roads and bridges and has a democratically elected government with representatives from each Orb. It is inhabited by peaceful people descended from Noah who have advanced technology based on advanced steam technology, including giant machines \“in the form of man\” called Androides (34-35). The capitol, Golden City, is located directly under corrupt New York. The Subterraneans meet with a Christian missionary and are converted. They meet in a great conclave and conclude that they should bring peace to the surface. They meet in Washington and an agreement is reached, which is then undermined by a group of conspirators. War follows, which the Subterraneans win. Delegates from all nations and regions of the surface convene and adopt a Constitution for the United Worlds that includes two legislative branches and an elective Chief with no veto. No despotism, no slavery. \“Peace, truth, right, temperance, pureness, mercy\’s reign/These the world\’s order that the law sustain\” (248).

Those who had been slaves are in their own heaven, where, knowing they are saved, wait for the final judgement. Visited by the author in a dream, they are frightened by seeing a white man but learning that he supports abolition, they welcome him, and a few tell him their stories. Each tells of the horrors of slavery and how they were mistreated and killed, but they hope that those who mistreated them will repent and be saved rather than face damnation for their actions in life. The dream ends with the arrival and welcome of another white man, Anthony Benezet (1713-84), the founder of world\&$\#$39;s first anti-slavery societies, the Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage, which, after his death, was reconstituted by Benjamin Franklin and Rush as the Pennsylvania Society for the Abolition of Slavery; the first public school for girls in North America; and the Negro School at Philadelphia.

Projects New England into the next century. Most of the book is concerned with what Christians agreed upon and where they disagree. From page 145 (1799 ed.) a lot of space is devoted to the increase in population of each of the four sects he finds worthy of attention, Episcopalians, Friends (Quakers), Baptists, and Congregationalists, with the last showing the greatest increase in population and in the number of churches. His concern is that without unity among Christians, or at least Protestants, the coming generations will become indifferent or tempted by other churches. Therefore, he gives suggestions for those who in the future will found new communities. He stresses the need for such new communities to establish churches and bring in ministers. At page 154 (1799 ed.) he projects one hundred years into the future, when he foresees the plain churches of his day replaced \“with temples whose colonades [as spelled] are deckt with guilt busts of angels winged. . . .\” Seven million Congregationalists at that time.\

Eutopian educational system. The Miranians believe that a good education is required for a good society and that a common education is needed to bring together the varied peoples who inhabited the country. The students were divided into two groups taught by different people in separate institutions, those intended for the learned professions and those intended for \“Mechanic Professions, and all the remaining People of the Country\” (14). The first are taught learned languages; the rest are not and finish their education at age fifteen. Those intended for the professions are taught English and Latin to age 15 then one year each of Greek; mathematics; philosophy, meaning ethics and physics; rhetoric and poetry; and agriculture and history. Much concern with the ability to speak and write well. Includes specific details of the education of the first group. Although there is an earlier Christian allegory, this is the earliest known utopia published in what became the United States. Influenced the founders of both King\’s College, now Columbia University, and the Academy and College of Philadelphia, now the University of Pennsylvania.\

Allegorical depiction of the theology of Calvinism as believed by the Puritans in early America. Traces the history of Basaruah (\“flesh-spirit\”) from its establishment through its various trouble to the eutopia (the millennium), which occurs before its king (God) defeats its enemies. The \“Introduction\” argues that Morgan\’s depiction moderated a few of the strictures of early Puritanism as stated in Michael Wiggleworth\’s Day of Doom: or, A Poetical Description of the Great and Last Judgment (1662), specifically regarding infant damnation, salvation of heathens, and the rewards of the saved (4-6).\
