The Diothas
''The Diothas; or, A Far Look Ahead'' is a 1883 utopian novel written by John Macnie and published using the pseudonym "Ismar Thiusen".〔"Ismar Thiusen," ''The Diothas; or, A Far Look Ahead'', New York, G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1883.〕 ''The Diothas'' has been called "perhaps the second most important American nineteenth-century ideal society"〔Everett F. Bleiler with Richard Bleiler, ''Science-Fiction: The Early Years'', Kent, OH, Kent University Press, 1990; p. 735.〕 after Edward Bellamy's ''Looking Backward'' (1888).
==Synopsis==
The novel begins with a scene in which the first-person narrator undergoes an episode of "mesmerism," or hypnosis, and wakes up in the far future; he has suddenly passed "from the nineteenth to the ninety-sixth century...."〔''The Diothas'', p. 3.〕 In the company of a friend and guide named Utis Estai, the narrator begins to learn the nature of this future world. He is introduced to the massive city of "Nuiore," the future development of New York City; and he travels with his guide to Utis's home in the suburbs. He learns from Utis and others about the structure and institutions of this future society.
