Eutopia. Describes the city of Saturnia, the capital city of Atlantis, which appears to be a middle ground between this life and Heaven. Emperors like Nero and Tiberius are porters and servants here, as are similarly behaved Cardinals, Bishops, and other \"great men\". Others, better men, like Benjamin Franklin live, converse, and continue their work in the arts and sciences. Very few are married to those they were married to in their previous lives. The government is similar to that of the U.S., and George Washington is President. Mostly presented through conversations among the great and good of the past and with the contemporary visitor, who asks them questions about their works.
