Publisher Description
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Beyond a remote mountain range lies Erewhon, a mysterious land where the rules of society are unlike anything the outside world has ever known.
When a curious young traveler discovers this isolated civilization, he encounters a world of astonishing contradictions. Illness is punished as a crime, criminals are treated as patients, and machines have been banned out of fear that they might one day surpass humanity. As he explores Erewhon's strange institutions and customs, he begins to question the very foundations of morality, religion, education, and progress.
First published in 1872, Erewhon is Samuel Butler's groundbreaking satirical novel, blending adventure, philosophical speculation, and early science fiction. Through sharp wit and imaginative social criticism, Butler exposes the absurdities of Victorian society while raising timeless questions about human nature, conformity, and technology.
A thought-provoking literary classic that challenges readers to reconsider everything they take for granted about civilization.
