In News From Nowhere, visionary writer and socialist thinker William Morris presents a vivid exploration of a utopian future where society thrives on shared ownership and democratic control.


Awakening in a transformed world, the narrator discovers a harmonious society that has abolished private property and merged art, life, and work into a seamless whole. Morris addresses enduring criticisms of socialism, particularly the perceived lack of motivation in a communal society, proposing that fulfilling, creative labor is the key to a purposeful life.


This revolutionary work not only critiques capitalist norms but also contrasts Morris's idealism with the mechanistic socialism of Looking Backward. News From Nowhere remains a cornerstone in utopian literature, offering profound insights into the possibility of a society built on joy, equality, and artistic freedom.

William Morris

William Morris (1834-1896) was one of the most influential thinkers and artists of his time. At Oxford, with the painter Burne-Jones, he fell under the influence of Ruskin and Rossetti.

Preoccupied with the poverty of modern design he taught himself at least thirteen crafts and founded his own design firm, Morris & Co.

In the late 1870s he became active in political and environmentalist matters and converted to socialism in 1883, helping to found the Socialist League a year later.
