News from Nowhere

  • by William Morris
  • 39-part serial, The Commonweal, 11 January 1890 to 4 October 1890

Via a dream, the “Guest”—most likely Morris himself—travels a century or more into the future where he finds an almost communistic society working smoothly. —based on Frank J. Bleiler
The date shut my mouth as if a key had been turned in a padlock fixed to my lips; for I saw that something inexplicable had happened, and that if I said much I should be mixed up in a game of cross questions and crooked answers.
