Synopsis

Set out as a stimulating, thought-provoking vision of a possible future, this novel follows a young man who is placed into a hypnotic sleep in the late 19th century and wakes in the year 2000. The world he encounters has been transformed, with crime, war and want described as no longer existing.

Alongside its imaginative premise, the book presents a provocative study of human society as it is and as it might be, making it a considered choice for readers drawn to classic utopian fiction.
