About this audiobook
Wake up in a future England where industrial squalor has been replaced by a pastoral socialist utopia. The protagonist, a Victorian traveler, discovers a society without money, class conflict, or government, where work is performed for the sheer joy of creation. This dream vision serves as both a critique of 19th-century capitalism and a hopeful blueprint for a world based on beauty and fellowship. It is a gentle yet radical work of political imagination that argues for the transformative power of art and community.
