Synopsis
Trapped in a London laboratory during a worker uprising in 1924, scientist and ex-artilleryman Jeremy Tuft awakens 150 years later — on the eve of a new Dark Age! Though dismayed by the realization that his own era's faith in the inevitability of progress was a shibboleth, Tuft decides that pre-modern life is simpler, more peaceful. That is, until half-savage northern English and Welsh tribes invade London... at which point he sets about reinventing twentieth century weapons of mass destruction.
Shanks' proto-Idiocracy satire on William Morris-esque utopias was first published in 1920.
