James B. Alexander 4 hr 8 min read

A visitor from the Moon shares his remarkable revelations, of lunar life, of Mars, and of Earth's future in single tax, socialism, woman's rights, and the reform of a foolish world.

James B. Alexander's 1909 novel is an imaginative first-contact and utopian social-SF tale. Inventive, discursive, of its era. Read it for a genial period vision where a learned Lunarian expounds on the worlds and on the reforms Earth ought to adopt, a fascinating window on turn-of-the-century hopes for the future.
