Octavo pp. 1-10 1-319 320-322: blank note: last leaf is a blank eleven inserted plates several double page with black and white illustrations by Joseph Clement Coll original green cloth front and spine panels stamped in gold. First edition. Protagonist awakens in a grim world of the future dominated by socialism and science and learns that legend has made him a kind of messiah. He leads a successful revolt against the establishment. The story first published in EVERYBODY'S MAGAZINE as a four-part serial June-September 1917 is one of the earliest American dystopian novels. "A more considerable work than is generally recognized despite the pulp adventure aspects. One can find among the author's ultraconservative values such Orwellian anticipations as omnipresent slogans euphemistic terms for horrible institutions the artificial language Spikisi the mechanics of thought control and the apparatus of the police state. While the book is a deutero-WHEN THE SLEEPER WAKES it is independent in detail and much Rousseau's best work." - Bleiler Science-Fiction: The Early Years 1922.
