Edward Bellamy’s prophetic novel about a young Boston man who is mysteriously transported from the 19th to the 21st century—from a world of war and want to a world of peace and plenty.
The year is 2000. The place: Utopian America. The hero: anyone who has ever longed for escape to a better life…
Translated into more than twenty languages, and the most widely read novel of its time, Looking Backward is more than a brilliant visionary’s view of the future. It is a blueprint of the “perfect society,” a guidebook that stimulated some of the greatest thinkers of our age. Today—in the very era it attempted to visualize—it is even more compelling than ever.
With an Introduction by Walter James Miller
And an Afterword by Eliot Fintushel

Spine-tingling and entertaining, The Invisible Man is a science fiction classic–and a penetrating, unflinching look into the heart of human nature. To its author, H. G. Wells, the novel was as compelling as “a good gripping dream.” But to generations of readers, the terrible and evil experiment of the demented scientist, Griffin, has conveyed a chilling nightmare of believable horror. An atmosphere of ever-increasing suspense begins with the arrival of a mysterious stranger at an English village inn and builds relentlessly to the stark terror of a victim pursued by a maniacal invisible man. The result is a masterwork: a dazzling display of the brilliant imagination, psychological insight, and literary craftsmanship that made H. G. Wells one of the most influential writers of his time.

Poet, pattern-designer, environmentalist and maker of fine books, William Morris (1834 96) was also a committed socialist and visionary writer, obsessively concerned with the struggle to achieve a perfect society on earth. News From Nowhere, one of the most significant English works on the theme of utopia, is the tale of William Guest, a Victorian who wakes one morning to find himself in the year 2102 and discovers a society that has changed beyond recognition into a pastoral paradise, in which all people live in blissful equality and contentment. A socialist masterpiece, News From Nowhere is a vision of a future free from capitalism, isolation and industrialisation. This volume also contains a wide selection of Morris's writings, lectures, journalism and letters, which expand upon the key themes of News From Nowhere.

He is the originator of the Precrime System, which uses precogs--people with the power to see into the future--to identify criminals before they can do any harm. Unfortunately for Anderton, his precogs perceive him as the next criminal.

距今七百年后,“大同世界”(那是从全世界人民终于获得胜利的时候起始的)的第四世纪中,一个未来的考古学者发现了《埃弗哈德手稿》——就是本书。手稿的作者是爱薇丝埃弗哈德,美国社会党领袖安纳斯特埃弗哈德的出身高贵的妻子。它通过一个从富家小姐走上革命道路的女性的视角叙述了1912年到1932年这二十年间劳动人民对抗财阀阶级的斗争史,塑造了安纳斯特埃弗哈德这位出身工人阶级的革命领袖的光辉形象:细腻、残酷,骇人听闻而又激动人心。
作者通过幻想小说的形式,预言到美国财阀阶级的寡头政权(他称之为“铁蹄”)走向法西斯统治的必然发展道路,着重指出了所谓美国式民主的真相,至今看来仍不乏重要的启示意义。 《铁蹄》是世界文学史上最伟大的幻想小说之一,是杰克伦敦的杰出成就。

《地铁》为一部都市悬疑、惊悚和幻想类作品,被喻为“技术时代的聊斋志异,电子囚笼中的卡夫卡”。全书分为五个独立中篇,彼此间有隐藏的线索交叉,因此也可视为分段式长篇。《末班》,一个老人在搭乘地铁回家途中,发现从隧道深处出现了很多奇怪矮人,把同车人都装进瓶子里运走了。老人决定自己去寻找答案。《惊变》,地铁没有像往常一样靠站,而是一直不停地疯狂行驶。一个青年打破窗户,想爬到车头处看看究竟。在经过一节节车厢时,发现里面的人们正在发生各种变异……《符号》,地面上的城市看似正常运转,但似乎整个世界只是一个实验场。一个男孩儿深入地下,试图揭开这个秘密。《天堂》,人类已完全在地底生活,而老鼠似乎正在成为人类生存下去的引路人。《废墟》,地球已经由外星人接管,两个少年男女被秘密派回地球,以寻找先辈遗留的重要机密。这机密就藏于废弃的地铁世界中。而在外星人的地球指挥中心里,答案似乎远比想像的复杂。

From the bestselling author of Alias Grace and the MaddAddam trilogy, here is the #1 New York Times bestseller and seminal work of speculative fiction from the Booker Prize-winning author.
Now a Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss, Samira Wiley, and Joseph Fiennes. Includes a new introduction by Margaret Atwood.
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable.
Offred can remember the days before, when she lived and made love with her husband Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now….
Funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing, The Handmaid's Tale is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and literary tour de force.

"The Power is our era's The Handmaid's Tale." --Ron Charles, Washington Post
"Novels based on premises like the one at the core of The Power can quickly become little more than thought experiments, but Alderman dodges this trap deftly -- her writing is beautiful, and her intelligence seems almost limitless. She also has a pitch-dark sense of humor that she wields perfectly." --Michael Schaub, NPR
**WINNER OF THE 2017 BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION**
What would happen if women suddenly possessed a fierce new power?
In THE POWER, the world is a recognizable place: there's a rich Nigerian boy who lounges around the family pool; a foster kid whose religious parents hide their true nature; an ambitious American politician; a tough London girl from a tricky family. But then a vital new force takes root and flourishes, causing their lives to converge with devastating effect. Teenage girls now have immense physical power--they can cause agonizing pain and even death. And, with this small twist of nature, the world drastically resets.
From award-winning author Naomi Alderman, THE POWER is speculative fiction at its most ambitious and provocative, at once taking us on a thrilling journey to an alternate reality, and exposing our own world in bold and surprising ways.

E.M. Forster is best known for his exquisite novels, but these two affecting short stories brilliantly combine the fantastical with the allegorical. In 'The Machine Stops', humanity has isolated itself beneath the ground, enmeshed in automated comforts, and in 'The Celestial Omnibus' a young boy takes a trip his parents believe impossible.
This book contains The Machine Stops and A Celestial Omnibus.
