PREFACE
IN this little volume, the Author puts the important science of
Sociology in a nutshell. In less than fifteen thousand simple words and
nine original illustrations, he tells the whole story of IDEAL
CIVILIZATION so _clearly_ that any ordinary reader can easily understand
it, and so _completely_ that few if any Readers can mention any
important _good_ thing that refined people would want but what is in
that ideal Society, and from which practically all our present bad
things are eliminated.
So far as the Writer is aware, “The Story of the World a Thousand Years
Hence” is the most radical book ever written. No other writer has ever
proposed so many fundamentally radical changes in Human Society. But
there is no danger whatever. All its radicalism is on the side of
health, peace, justice, refinement, sane freedom, sound naturalism,
universal prosperity and friendly mutuality.
It also seems to be the first book ever written which accords to women
and children a fair deal in life. It clearly points out how every man,
woman and child can live a free, easy, independent, happy life
financially, industrially, domestically, socially and parentally. It
clearly and definitely presents the first real glimpse of ideal
civilization, a real heaven on earth, and is, therefore, the most
important message ever delivered to struggling humanity. It serves the
important twofold purposes of pleasantly educating the _immature_, and
it also serves as a practical guide for harmonious industrial, domestic
and parental co-operation on a large scale for the _matured_. As to the
truth of these claims, the Author invites the intelligent, open-minded
Readers to be the judges, but always on the assumption that it requires
intelligent people to run a community or a world harmoniously.
