"Erewhon Revisited Twenty Years Later, Both by the Original Discoverer of the Country and by His Son" by Samuel Butler is a satirical novel published in 1901. When Higgs returns to the fictional land of Erewhon, he discovers something disturbing: his earlier balloon escape has been interpreted as a divine ascension, and he's now worshipped as "the Sunchild." A new religion has formed around him, guarded by treacherous professors who will stop
at nothing to protect their creation—even from its supposed deity. Butler's sharp satire explores how religions emerge and evolve, using invented worlds to reflect uncomfortable truths about real faiths. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
