Annotation

Brief pictures of various worlds. Many of the worlds visited are only briefly described with only a few of the characteristics of the inhabitants indicated. Anti-capitalist, particularly concerned with the evils of monopolies and depicting a number of worlds with monopolies. Various worlds are eutopias based on socialist principles, a rigidly enforced moral system, a national health system, or technology. There is repeated stress on the need for non-combustible building materials. Concerned with the religious practices of the planets described. Sexual purity is important. The concluding chapter describes Heaven.
