News from Nowhere (1890) is a seminal work that weaves together utopian socialism and gentle science fiction, crafted by the visionary artist and socialist pioneer William Morris. The narrative follows William Guest, who, after attending a meeting of the Socialist League, drifts into a dream-like future where society thrives on shared ownership and democratic control of production. In this idyllic world, there is no private property, towering cities, or forms of authority‚Aîmoney, divorce, courts, prisons, and class distinctions are absent. Instead, this agrarian community flourishes as its people find joy in nature and derive satisfaction from their work. Morris boldly addresses a common critique of socialism the perceived lack of motivation for labor in a communist system, arguing instead that all work should be inherently creative and enjoyable.
