| Annotation | Critique of 1830 Bluffdale that says the dystopian aspects of his future did not happen by showing Alton, Illinois, 300 years in the future when it is a large city. Focus on a large building with lecture halls, art galleries, a museum, and observatories. There are still rich and poor, but everyone was adequately clothed, fed, and housed. Pervasive religion with a wide range of denominations and a place of worship for every thousand inhabitants plus other places where people met. Stress on cleanliness, simplicity, and order. |
