In the eight volumes of this edition I.F. Clarke presents readers
with selected primary texts in the genre now generally known as
future fiction. He begins with the anonymous Tory utopia, The Reign
of George VI, 1900-1925 (1763). Volume by volume he reveals the
entrance of new themes: coming wars, better future worlds, the
marvels of engineering, the imminent triumph of women, and the end
of the world. In linking passages between the selected entries he
notes the changes - social, political, technological, that keep
pace with the rapid development of the genre; and, in particular he
shows how the unprecedented advances and inventions of the 19th
century provided ideas and reasons for projections of world states,
vast flying machines, perfectly planned cities, and universal
peace.
