Setting out to make his fortune in a far-off country, a young traveller discovers the remote and beautiful land of Erewhon, and is given a home among its extraordinarily handsome citizens. But their visitor soon discovers that this seemingly ideal community has its faults - here crime is treated indulgently as a malady to be cured, while illness, poverty and misfortune are cruelly punished, and all machines have been superstitiously destroyed after a bizarre prophecy. Can he survive in a world where morality is turned upside down? Inspired by Samuel Butler’s years in colonial New Zealand

Erewhon (an anagram for "nowhere") is a faraway land where sickness is a punishable crime, criminals receive compassionate medical treatment, and machines are banned (for fear they’ll evolve and become the masters of man). Butler’s entertaining and thought-provoking Utopian novel takes aim at such hallowed institutions as family, church, and mechanical progress; its remarkable prescience in anticipating future sociological trends adds a special relevance for today’s readers.

Based on his experiences in New Zealand, Samuel Butler wrote this account of a visit to a very peculiar utopian (dystopian, actually) society in the vein of Gullivers’ Travels. This is not a blueprint for a better world but a means of satirizing the foibles of Victorian English society. Published anonymously in 1872, this book has influenced a number of successive authors, including G.B. Shaw, and a number of New Zealand utopian authors. Aldous Huxley cited Erewhon as a primary source of his own dystopia, Brave New World. (Quote from sacred-texts.com)About the AuthorSamuel Butler (Decemb

qI forget when but not very long after I had published ?Erewhon? in 1872 it occurred to me to ask myself what course events in Erewhon would probably take after Mr. Higgs as I suppose I may now call him had made his escape in the balloon with Arowhena. Given a people in the conditions supposed to exist in Erewhon and given the apparently miraculous ascent of a remarkable stranger into the heavens with an earthly bride?what would be the effect on the people generally?q This musing comes from the author Samuel Butler.
