Dystopia and eutopia. Various alternative histories of past, present, and future. The dystopian future describes a future United States called Unistat, which is authoritarian. But there is also a period in which Unistad is a eutopia in which all poverty is ended through automation and awards both for all those who invented better machines and those replaced by the new machines. All prisons abolished and crime almost eliminated. Middle volume of a trilogy. The trilogy is a sequel to another trilogy, Robert [Joseph] Shea (1933-94) and Robert Anton Wilson. The Illuminatus! New York: Dell, 1975; Rpt. as The Illuminatus! Trilogy: The Eye in the Pyramid, The Golden Apple and Leviathan.

All this material could be described as dystopian, but except for the explicit eutopia and the vague dystopia, there is little social detail.
