When the narrator falls asleep after a Socialist League meeting, he awakens in a transformed future society without private property, money, government, or class divisions. Morris envisions a world where work becomes pleasurable and creative, blending seamlessly with art and life. Written as a libertarian socialist response to Edward Bellamy's industrialized utopia, the novel explores how this reimagined society organizes itself through common ownership and democratic control of production.
