Fiction (novels & short stories)
#18
RE: Fiction (novels & short stories)
I recommend "Looking Backwards" by Edward Bellamy, it's a utopian novel from the industrial age that was written in 1897. It's about a man in high society who falls into a trance in 1897 only to be woken up in the year 2000 in a utopian paradise. The novel is fascinating because it details a fantasy timeline that is based on real events of the 19th century, so the reader can look at the parallel between reality and the storyline. Much of the book is involved with discussing the finer points of the society and it is incredible in its logic and rationale. The best part is the storyline behind the book is really interesting and engaging as well. This book totally changed my life!
My religion is the understanding of my world. My god is the energy that underlies it all. My worship is my constant endeavor to unravel the mysteries of my religion. Thinking
