All the individuals who exist are duplicated on both planets. The Owner of the Voice, the narrator, and his companion, the Botanist, find themselves on a planet exactly like the Earth in terms of biology and geography, but on the far away in space ‘out beyond Sirius’. A Modern Utopia is no novel, despite describing fictitious events and characters. ![]() For me, a story is all of the above and something more. A description of events and characters which change over the duration of the story. I read a free Gutenberg edition published of the first edition. Originally published (as so many novels of the time were) in serialised form from October 1904 to April 1905, A Modern Utopia came to be a book later in 1905. However, it has merits in the history of science fiction so is worth my time. Declaration of interest: I really wasn’t looking forward to reading this and debated not bothering at all. ![]()
