Erewhon, an anagram for "nowhere," is a faraway land where citizens
follow a unique set of rules disregarding conventional beliefs
about money, health and science. Beneath the surface, Erewhon is
fueled by hypocrisy and inhabitants are riddled with fear. A
traveler stumbles across a remote country that appears to be a
peaceful paradise. It's a utopian society that doesn't use or value
money in a traditional way. Criminals are considered sick and
treated as patients, while the ill are imprisoned and labeled as
criminals. There's also an overwhelming distrust of machines, which
are outlawed due to their potential to evolve and overthrow their
masters. Erewhon's superficial qualities grow to become a source of
contempt and distrust. Erewhon illustrates a world where an attempt
to correct the ills of society causes more harm than good. It's a
profound examination of Victorian ethics, benefiting a minority
over the majority. Butler's groundbreaking novel has significantly
influenced multiple writers in literature and beyond. With an
eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this
edition of Erewhon is both modern and readable.
