THOMAS, Chauncey

THOMAS, Chauncey
(1822-1898)
   US author of a technocratic UTOPIA, The Crystal Button, or Adventures of Paul Prognosis in the Forty-Ninth Century (1891). The protagonist travels thence in a dream-state, learns how the peace is maintained through a rigorous and worldwide attachment to Truth, and, just as a comet destroys this idyllic civilization, returns to 19th-century Boston.
