News from Nowhere by William Morris
An Epoch of Rest, Being Some Chapters from a Utopian Romance
"News from Nowhere" is a utopian novel that explores a future society founded on common ownership and democratic control of the means of production. In this society, there is no private property, no big cities, no authority, no monetary system, no divorce, no courts, no prisons, and no class systems. This agrarian lifestyle is shown to promote the arts, architecture, and craftsmanship. The protagonist, a man from the 19th century, travels forward in time and explores this idyllic world, engaging in thoughtful dialogues about the nature of this society, its customs, and its values.
