The novel deals with a dystopian/utopian future (1988) and draws heavily on the author’s own political views. “Cæsar’s Column” was first published in 1890 and though it is far from a great work, it holds a special place in the history of speculative fiction. “Cæsar’s Column: A Story of the Twentieth Century” by Ignatius Donnelly is the 10th book in the Early Classics of Science Fiction series. ![]()
