| Full Text | 1973 Dickson, Gordon R[upert] (1923-2001). The R-Master. Flawed utopia governed by the bureaucracy of the Earth Council, which presents itself as governing in the interests of the people but in fact controls them and governs in its own interest. The society has an ideology of complete freedom, but a hidden practice of constant control. Although Dickson moved to the US at age 13, his work is considered by Canadian scholars to be characteristically Canadian. |
