Summary

What if everything we believed about morality, crime, health, and machines was reversed? In Erewhon, Samuel Butler delivers a brilliant satirical utopia where illness is treated as a crime, criminals are pitied like the sick, and machines are feared as dangerous competitors to mankind’s future. 
Originally published in 1872, this classic dystopian novel was far ahead of its time—questioning Victorian values, blind progress, and the foundations of civilization itself. Through the eyes of a lone traveler discovering the bizarre society of Erewhon, Butler critiques the hypocrisies of his own age with sharp wit and philosophical depth. 
Part science fiction, part social commentary, Erewhon is a mind-bending journey into a world that forces us to reexamine our own. Essential listening for fans of Orwell, Huxley, and those who enjoy their satire with a razor's edge.
