"News from Nowhere" is a novel by William Morris that depicts a future society
based on common ownership and democratic control. In this society, there is no
private property, no authority, and no class systems. The people find pleasure
in nature and their work, which is seen as creative and pleasurable. The book
addresses objections to socialism and emphasizes the abolition of divisions
between art, life, and work. Women in this society are respected as child
bearers and rearers, and domestic work is seen as something for which women
are particularly suited. The society practices monogamy but is not bound by
contractual marriage. Education is chosen by individuals, and children are
encouraged to learn through nature. Morris envisions an ideal society free
from the burdens of industrialization, where people live in harmony with the
natural world.
