...Significance. The earliest dreams of mankind concern an imagined Earthly Paradise. Here is the Earthly Paradise of one of the most brilliant, varied and active minds of our time. The prescription will not suit all palates, but should, nevertheless, prove stimulating and provocative to anyone not a moron. A gorgeous but rigid dream?the acme of possible scientific and eugenic perfection?a fascinating and plausible illusion. And yet?in spite of all the merits of the book?one wonders at times. Can Heaven-on-Earth, if possible, prove quite so efficiently readymade...
