About this audiobook
Before H.G. Wells or William Morris, W. H. Hudson envisioned a completely reimagined future for mankind. First published in 1887, A Crystal Age is a groundbreaking sci-fi masterpiece and one of the earliest pastoral utopian novels.
The story follows Smith, a traveler who suffers a mysterious accident during a nature hike only to awaken thousands of years into the future. He finds an Earth where cities, money, and advanced technology have vanished, replaced by an agrarian society living in perfect, peaceful harmony with nature. But as Smith falls deeply in love with the enigmatic Yoletta, he discovers that this seemingly perfect paradise holds strict, alien social rules that threaten his very existence.
Haunting, poetic, and deeply philosophical, A Crystal Age anticipates modern environmentalism and explores the bittersweet cost of a flawless world.
