An authoritarian dystopia on another planet in which the “intelligentsia” daily judge the mental health of all its citizens and locks up those who fail. As a result virtually the entire population is locked up. By contrast a eutopia on Earth is present in which all property is collectively owned and distributed as needed and government and education are concerned with human happiness. On Earth capital punishment is reserved for “Adulterers of children’s food and defrauders of the poor” (434). Probably a U.S. author. |
