In 1926 Muriel Jaeger, dissatisfied with the Utopian visions of H G
Wells and Edward Bellamy, set out to explore `The Question Mark' of
what a future society might look like if human nature were properly
represented. So, disgruntled London office worker Guy Martin is
pitched 200 years into the future, where he encounters a seemingly
ideal society in which each citizen has the luxury of every kind of
freedom. But as Guy adjusts to the new world, the fractures of this
supposed Utopia begin to show through, and it seems as if the
inhabitants of this society might be just as susceptible to the
promises of false messiahs as those of the twentieth century.
Preceding the publication of Huxley's Brave New World by 5 years,
The Question Mark is a significant cornerstone in the foundation of
the Dystopia genre, and an impressive and unjustly neglected work
of literary science fiction. This edition brings the novel back
into print for the first time since its original publication.
