Utopia, by Sir Thomas More (TPB, 1999, $1.75)
A Traveler from Altruria, by William Dean Howells (TPB, 1996, $1.75)
Both of these books were written during times of massive change. At first progress looked wonderful, but eventually there came a sense that something was wrong. Commercialism, city populations, and the numbers of the poor were all exploding. Moral values were disappearing. More and Howells wanted people to notice. Look for both these books in the classics section, avail. 9/27.
