ABOUT
A satirical, utopian novel written by English author Samuel Butler and first published in 1872.
In this satire of Victorian society, the main character Higgs discovers an unknown country, the seeming utopia called Erewhon, Nowhere backwards with the "h" and "w" transposed. The starting chapters detailing the discovery of Erewhon were based on Butler's experiences in New Zealand as a young man.
Butler was possibly the first to write about the idea of artificial intelligence, and the potentially dangerous ideas of machine consciousness and self-replicating machines.
