Annotation

Humorous science fiction. Time travel into a series of future Australias set between 2050 and 4000. The first presents a scientifically advanced dictatorship where everyone has a number and individual thinking is discouraged. The rest present the struggle between men and women, with women dominant in most of them, although in one, animals are in control and everyone lives underground. Eventually most men are killed off and the men traveling from the past take advantage of the situation. Much better written than the usual Heming work. Graham Stone in Notes on Australian Science Fiction. (Sydney, NSW: Graham Stone, 2001), 28 says that it was originally written as a play.
