The Inner House

Meer over het boek

Set in a future where immortality is achieved through a scientifically developed elixir, citizens face oppressive regulations that enforce conformity and stifle individuality. As overpopulation is managed by requiring justification for births against deaths, a group of vigilantes emerges, seeking to revive the values of the past. This narrative delves into the ethical and social dilemmas of a life without death, echoing themes found in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Walter Besant's work serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of eternal life and its impact on humanity.
