Set in 2126, The Mummy!: A Tale of the Twenty-Second Century
explores a society led by advanced technology but driven by ego,
greed and self-preservation. It’s a vivid clash of genres
featuring an old tale with a new twist. In the distant future,
society has become enthralled by technology. It’s an integral
part of life that has changed the way humans interact. Autonomous
machines have a visible presence, taking critical jobs in the
workforce. Doctors and lawyers have been replaced by steam-powered
devices, as well as farmers who no longer plant or plow. The author
presents an early form of the internet that can connect anyone at
any time. With all these advancements, mankind has become detached
and corrupt. It’s up to Cheops, a reanimated corpse, to make a
way in this questionable age. Jane Loudon was a young visionary
writer who was ahead of her time. Her version of The Mummy features
a speculative world that eerily embodies twenty-first century
society. It’s a brilliant work that exposes humanity at its core.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of The Mummy!: A Tale of the Twenty-Second
Century is both modern and readable.
