Socialism and a lack of both religion and authority cause the collapse of Britain. Britain failed to educate its people so that democracy could function correctly. Climatic changes brought about by the movement of the Gulf Stream away from Britain and the resulting colder weather led to mass immigration and the collapse of commerce. The class structure in Britain divides people. The protagonist visits Britain in 2990 and the Britain of the nineteenth century in a dream. Australia in 2989 is prosperous and healthy with religion and authority as seen in a tour of Australia taken in what is called an electric car but runs on a schedule and has a guard. The poor in Australia are given assistance as a right.\

Eutopia/dystopia six hundred years in the future in which everyone lives in cities, there is a religion of humanity based on Auguste Comte (1798-1857), and children are raised by women other than their natural mother. The protagonist, from the past and a Christian, sees the society as a dystopia and at the end of the book is introduced to a \"Christian Village\", where the old, better ways are practiced. It all turns out to be a dream.
