Two eutopias. The first, briefly described, is a socialist eutopia based on state-controlled trusts that developed on Earth after World War II. No unemployment. Much technological improvement. The Confederated States of America include all of North and South America. The second eutopia is on Venus and is a technologically based cockaigne, at least as far as food is concerned, with, for example, a Delicatessen Forest. Venus is one country with one government. Everything on Venus standardized and visitors from the old Earth find it too perfect. Much of the novel is taken up with the conflicts this produces.

There is a very brief description of a socialist eutopian society on a planet near Canopus, but the bulk of the 41 pages is concerned with the stupidities of the human race destroying itself and the Earth. Set in the future, there are a number of war-mongering dystopian societies briefly described.
