The Islands of Wisdom
Die Inseln der Weisheit ("The Islands of Wisdom") is a 1922 novel by Alexander Moszkowski that features expeditions to various utopian and dystopian islands that embody various social-political ideas of European philosophy and extrapolates them for their absurdities when they are put into practice. The novel's "island of technology" Sarragalla anticipates mobile telephones and a thorough mechanization of life. The satire of utopias also reproduces the society described in Plato's "The Republic".
