A man is put to sleep for three hundred years and awakens in a technological eutopia in communication with Mars, which is in advance of earth. World federalism without democracy. No one lived in cities except by government draft. If a person is exceptional, the government chooses who they will marry. \"Degenerates,\" on the other hand, were kept in asylums and not allowed to marry. The author\&$\#$39;s note says that the story is based on conversations with the inventor Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931), and Edison provided notes to Lathrop, who wrote the story. Thirty-three pages of Edison\’s notes for the story can be found in the Thomas A. Edison Papers at Rutgers University (http://edison.rutgers.edu/index.htm).
