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and lawyers have been replaced by steam-powered devices, as well as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.
