| Why it’s on the list | Eugen Richter’s 1891 dystopian novel, written by a German liberal parliamentarian as a direct answer to the socialist utopias of his day: an enthusiastic worker welcomes the revolution and records, faith intact, how it closes the borders, abolishes the currency, assigns labour and turns on its own supporters. Written before the experiments, it predicted the mechanics of twentieth-century state socialism. |
