A religious dystopia followed by a religious eutopia. Volume I, set in 2000, describes a Brisbane that has essentially disappeared and ends with a description of Hell. Volume II, set in 2200, describes a Brisbane revived and ends with a description of Heaven. Land and mineral wealth nationalized, and \“rational\” dress adopted, but the key change is the return to religion. Eight-hour workday. See also 1889 Lucas.
