About The Question Mark
"In 1926 Muriel Jaeger, dissatisfied with the unrealistic utopian stories of HG Wells and Edward Bellamy, set out to explore 'The Question Mark' of what a future society might look like if human nature were truthfully represented. Her hero, disgruntled office worker Guy Martin, is pitched 200 years into a future London where each citizen is offered free education and a personal 'power-box' granting access to communication, transportation and entertainment. To Guy, the great challenges facing society seem solved, but its inhabitants tell a different story of fractured life in this supposed utopia. Preceding the publication of Huxley's *Brave New World* by 5 years, *The Question Mark* is a significant cornerstone in the foundation of the dystopia genre, and an impressive work of literary science fiction."
