In 2030, with signing a recognized language, a deaf teacher of history in the London Model Deaf School, is teaching his last class before retirement. In it he tells a story about the struggle against oralism, an attempt to impose oralism, the requirement that the deaf speak and cannot sign. In the novel, the story is fantasy and science fiction, but it was inspired by the Second International Congress on the Education of the Deaf held in Milan in 1880 that concluded that speech rather than signing was the best approach to deaf education. The delegates from Great Britain and the United States voted against the resolutions. There was only one deaf delegate to the conference. Signing was banned in many schools for the deaf and deaf teachers lost their jobs. Some schools chose to keep signing, and, of course, many deaf students continued to sign among themselves. The novel ends with the suggest that attempts to impose oralism will continue. There is a \“Visual Glossary\” illus.

A shared future history anthology related to Smith\&$\#$39;s 1993 In the Cube, which was written during the collaboration on this volume.

To complicate matters a wide variety of different aliens arrive in Boston and become part of everyday life. One of those aliens is testing humans for admission into the interstellar world. Humanity apparently passes the test and at the end Boston reunites and establishes itself as a separate country.

The brief novel presents two worlds, both of which can be considered flawed utopias with an abrupt shift between the two and an equally abrupt ending. The first, Antiochus, is a high-tech society with no nations, no racial issues due to interbreeding, a carefully maintained ecology. Women deal with public matters, men mostly with the domestic. But everyone is entirely focused on themselves with no interest in others and production declining and lots of accidents and no one cares. The other, Earth in 2379, has all intellectuals on the moon and everyone on the surface of the Earth is focused on their bodies. Gender equality. Solar power. Not really developed.

Eutopia. The focus of the story is an extended family of eighteen adults living in a future world with a fairly low population. The main technological change is a matter transmitter that allows nearly instantaneous travel to any place on Earth, which means that only some are living together at any one time. The family described values high intelligence, and it is implied that this is the norm. Each person must contribute \"tax labor\" to the Earth community.

The story is a discussion between the President and a senior adviser, who is black, prior to the following law going into effect. \“Any parent or parents, who are declared functionally or totally illiterate by a test administered by the Health, Welfare, and Education Department of the United States Government, without regard to race, color, or creed, will be placed in an education center for the purposes of bringing their reading and writing level up to the standards of the nation\’s.

Black revolution presented positively but with substantial satire directed at the way the political system functions, particularly its favoritism and corruption. The novel focuses on a black politician, Hiram Elliott Quinault, possibly based on Adam Clayton Powell (1908-72), who rises to a position of seniority in the House of Representatives. His rise leads to the inevitable backlash from the established white politicians, who uses every means available to demean and diminish him. When a group of black nationalists declare the independence of Blackland in Mississippi from the U.S. and ask Quinault to be their President, he accepts, is expelled from Congress, and assassinated. In retaliation, the black nationalists kill twelve Congressmen and wounding others.\

Eutopia and dystopia presented as two alternative future histories. The dystopia is extrapolated from the situation as it existed in 1942. In the eutopia that situation is overcome and for a time a eutopia based on villages develops. Following that, the human race goes through periods of decline and advance until a new and higher human type develops.\

An explorer comes to believe that Belsalem, the country described in Bacon\’s New Atlantis (1627) must exist and searches for, and discovers, it. Here the basis for the utopia is a treatment that enlarges the brain, and in addition to the science and technology central to the New Atlantis, there is great stress on health and mental activity. All knowledge had been sifted for truth. Work consists mostly of overseeing machines. No money. The family is sacrosanct and birth control produces a stable population. Little government need; some administration. The book concludes with two appendices. The first is \“A Note on the Changing Shape of the Skull\” (215-216) that consists of abstracts from Sir Janes Frazer\’s the Golden Bough. Vol. 2 The Magic Art, 297. The second is \“Scientific Discoveries\” (217-221) and presents more information on three points in the book, the Nature of Light, Positive and negative electricity, and the Mental Ambience.

Projects New England into the next century. Most of the book is concerned with what Christians agreed upon and where they disagree. From page 145 (1799 ed.) a lot of space is devoted to the increase in population of each of the four sects he finds worthy of attention, Episcopalians, Friends (Quakers), Baptists, and Congregationalists, with the last showing the greatest increase in population and in the number of churches. His concern is that without unity among Christians, or at least Protestants, the coming generations will become indifferent or tempted by other churches. Therefore, he gives suggestions for those who in the future will found new communities. He stresses the need for such new communities to establish churches and bring in ministers. At page 154 (1799 ed.) he projects one hundred years into the future, when he foresees the plain churches of his day replaced \“with temples whose colonades [as spelled] are deckt with guilt busts of angels winged. . . .\” Seven million Congregationalists at that time.\
