Erewhon and Erewhon Revisited by Samuel Butler
In Erewhon, an anagram for "nowhere," sickness is a punishable crime, criminals receive compassionate medical treatment, and machines are banned, lest they evolve and take over. Originally published in 1872, this proto-steampunk novel offers entertaining, provocative satires of the family, church, and mechanical progress. The Dover edition includes the sequel, Erewhon Revisited.
