PARRY, David MacLean

PARRY, David MacLean
(1852-1915)
   US businessman and writer whose anti-socialist DYSTOPIA, The Scarlet Empire (1906), introduces a young US citizen to a nightmarish ATLANTIS, protected from the ocean by a great dome, in which the obsession with regimented equality leads to grotesqueries prophetic of those dreamt of by Evgeny ZAMIATIN in My (trans Gregory Zilboorg as We 1924 US). The protagonist escapes with the young woman he loves, destroying the dome - and hence the entire society - as he leaves.
