The First edition was printed a year earlier in march of 1891. In the novel, the narrator, William Guest, falls asleep after a Socialist League meeting and awakens in a future society characterized by common ownership and democratic control of production. In this society, there is no private property, large cities, authority, monetary system, marriage or divorce, courts, prisons, or class distinctions. It is an agrarian society that functions smoothly because people derive pleasure from nature and, therefore, from their work. Condition: Very Good Condition.
