"News from Nowhere" is a novel by William Morris that depicts a future society based on common ownership and democratic control. In this society, there is no private property, no authority, and no class systems. The people find pleasure in nature and their work, which is seen as creative and pleasurable. The book addresses objections to socialism and emphasizes the abolition of divisions between art, life, and work. Women in this society are respected as child bearers and rearers, and domestic work is seen as something for which women are particularly suited. The society practices monogamy but is not bound by contractual marriage. Education is chosen by individuals, and children are encouraged to learn through nature. Morris envisions an ideal society free from the burdens of industrialization, where people live in harmony with the natural world.
