Book Description:
Written in the tradition of Jonathan Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels', English novelist, essayist, and iconoclast Samuel Butler (1835 1902) describes an imaginary visit to a topsy turvy country called Erewhon (an anagram of 'nowhere'), where it is a punishable offence to be physically ill, but where criminality and immorality are looked kindly upon as treatable diseases. The English church is pilloried in the system of 'Musical Banks,' whose currency nobody believes in but everyone pretends to value. Universities teach courses on how to say nothing at great length, and all machines have been banned for fear that they will develop through evolution and enslave the citizens.
