Sometime - Robert [Welch] Herrick (1868-1938) (Farrar & Rinehart, 1933)
Detailed eutopia set mostly in Africa after a new Ice Age with strong anti-capitalist and anti-colonial themes. The novel is framed by two issues: very restrictive eugenic legislation and the re-opening of North America. The eutopia described in Africa has a much lower population, in part because a couple must have a multi-generational positive eugenic record. Technology. Labor army. Abundance with all food, clothing, housing free. Few personal possessions. In the next to the last chapter, the explorers of the Americas discover flourishing native communities that have recreated their traditional cultures among the “Esquimaux” in the north, the Pueblos in the southwest, and the Aztec and Mayan civilizations in Central America. In the final chapter, the protagonist reflects on how the African eutopia should respond to the discoveries made in the Americas.

Last Men in London - W[illiam] Olaf Stapledon (1886-1950) (Methuen, 1932)
Loosely related to 1930 Stapledon, Last and First Men, but, even though it begins with a message from the last humans of two thousand million years in the future, the book is more restricted in scope.

Children spend their first thousand years in a children's club, which they run, and which includes basic education. The second thousand years is spent on a separate continent, the Land of the Young. There are 96 sub-sexes. Telepathic. More leisure than work with each person specializing. Most of the book is then concerned with the modern world before, during, and after World War I. It then ends back on Neptune and with an "Epilogue" by Stapledon.

The New Gods Lead - S[ydney] Fowler Wright (1874-1965) (Jarrolds, 1932)
A collection of stories, mostly linked by a concern with science, and eugenics in particular, from a dystopian point of view. “Justice” is concerned with a relaxation of penalties for killing old people in automobile accidents. “This Night” and “P.N. 40” are concerned with the manipulation of the laws so that rich, old men could have access to the most beautiful, young women. “Brain” describes a scientists’ government that eliminates democracy. “Proof” is concerned with the elimination of the unfit, and the problems that develop. “Original Sin” is set in a future eutopia where disease has been eliminated and all children are healthy. A decision is made that all children will be born within a five-year period every twenty-five years, which works very well. But a Doctrine of Futility spreads, and it is decided to eliminate the entire human race.
