A review by cjelli
Meccania, The Super-State by Owen Gregory

3.0

Framed as a travelogue, it (purposefully) lacks for both plot and character, but largely makes up for that in (now terribly dated) imagination: an interesting piece of dystopian fiction that reveals as much about the fears, tribulations, and biases of 1918 Europe as it does about the thinly-disguised future state of the (then) far-future 1970's Definitely Not Germany. Fascinating mostly -- at this far remove from its publication -- as a lens to how the present looked from the past.
