Tietoa kirjasta

En ensam vandrare hamnar i Landet Ingenstans och får uppleva ett utopiskt samhälle där pengar är värdelösa och naturen orörd. Men snart slår upplevelsen om, och Landet Ingenstans visar sig under ytan vara en nattsvart dystopi, fullt av religiöst hyckleri och politiska orättvisor.

Landet Ingenstans var ursprungligen skriven som en ilsken satir över viktorianskt liv och brittiska imperiedrömmar men har som tidlös dystopisk varning inspirerat George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, H.G. Wells och många andra efterföljare. För vår egen tid blir den extra intressant genom att förekomma fenomen som DNA-testning och artificiell intelligens.

Engelsmannen Samuel Butler (1835–1902) gjorde uppror mot sina föräldrar och sin kristna tro och emigrerade till Nya Zeeland, ett landskap som inspirerade till Landet Ingenstans. Efter en framgångsrik tid som fåruppfödare återvände han hem och slog om till författare och kritiker.
