In this book, Sinclair attacks institutionalized religion as a "source of income to parasites, and the natural ally of every form of oppression and exploitation."

This is the first edition of The Millennium since the author self-published it in 1924. In the year 2000, capitalism reaches its zenith with the construction of the Pleasure Palace, a glittering half-mile-high structure in the middle of Central Park. During the grand opening, a scientific experiment with radiumite explodes, killing everyone on Earth except 11 people in the Pleasure Palace. Their attempt to rebuild a capitalist society results instead in the world’s first successful utopian state.
