Alien invaders produce a eutopian response, although a nuclear war devastates most of the world between the first visit of the aliens and their return to establish a colony next to Lake Taupo. This first settlement is destroyed by the eruption of Mount Tongariro. The emphasis is on the conflict with the aliens, but, after the aliens easily defeat a Chinese invasion of Australia and New Zealand, that conflict ultimately brings humanity, including the Chinese, together in an attempt to defeat the next wave of alien colonists. The novel ends there, so its success or failure is not known. The aliens are depicted in both a eutopian and a dystopian light. The alien society is briefly described from the alien perspective; it is completely collective with ties only to the community and, since they do not sleep, they live virtually their entire lives as part of a collective. Their complete reliance on logic and reasons produces the dystopian characteristics.

Eutopia designed as an argument in favor of free trade. The first three chapters are on the physical glories of the Northwestern U.S. The next chapters are future history in which the Northwest is developed, and there are significant technological advances. An inventor of genius discovers how to create organic matter from inorganic matter; hence, the rice mills. Having a monopoly, the man became immensely rich, and the Northwest developed rapidly, but the man died young. His will gives his shipping interests to the men who worked the ships, the rice mill in trust to the State of Washington, and his other property to the city. But the whole thing was a fraud designed to hide free trade with other countries, which is what had actually enriched him.
