The first modern dystopian novel, written as a socialist propaganda piece in 1908.  Jack London envisions a world in which the oligarchs form a fascist regime in America, told from the perspective of two young socialist lovers. Antonia Meredith, a historian from a utopia in the far future, provides dubious historical context. A mixture of romance, rhetoric, and revolution, accompanied by the folk music of the IWW Songbook.

Adapted as a three-part audio drama from our earlier stage adaptation.
