Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A] surprisingly moving story. — The NewYorker

Bogdanov's novels reveal a great deal about theirfascinating author, about his time and, ironically, ours, and about the genre ofutopia as well as his contribution to it. — SlavicReview

Bogdanov's imaginative predictions for his utopia are bothtechnological and social... Even more farsighted are his] anxious forebodings aboutthe limits and costs of the utopian future. — Science FictionStudies

The contemporary reader will marvel at Bogdanov's]foresight: nuclear fusion and propulsion, atomic weaponry and fallout, computers, blood transfusions, and (almost) unisexuality. — Choice

Acommunist society on Mars, the Russian revolution, and class struggle on two planetsis the subject of this arresting science fiction novel by Alexander Bogdanov(1873--1928), one of the early organizers and prophets of the Russian Bolshevikparty. The red star is Mars, but it is also the dream set to paper of the societythat could emerge on earth after the dual victory of the socialist andscientific-technical revolutions. While portraying a harmonious and rationalsocialist society, Bogdanov sketches out the problems that will face industrializednations, whether socialist or capitalist.
