Ostensibly a utopia, this new world order isn't entirely new its blueprint is drawn from the philosophies of Enlightenment thinkers such as Diderot and Voltaire, in the same way Canner's narrative frames the tale as if he were Dr. It imagines Earth in the year 2424 as a radically different place, with every facet of society reordered from top to bottom.
