Annotation |
Mostly adventure but includes a future technological eutopia as well as a description of a lower heaven as eutopia. Much discussion of the need for religion to recognize science. Stresses individualism. Racist, sexist, and imperialist. In the “Preface to New Edition” (iii-vi) the author says that the book was conceived and mostly written before The Coming Race and Erewhon and differs from them in outlining “a condition of things easily imaginable as resulting from the natural development of existing tendencies in knowledge and thought” and in indicating “the necessary future development of society” (iii). The author lived in New South Wales, Australia from 1849 to 1858 and some of the novel deals with the future of Australia. |
