Erehon, Ou, De L'autre Côté Des Montagnes

The book feels like a sharp critique of Victorian society, but I wonder how much of Butler's personal beliefs shaped its themes and humor.

The way Erewhon treats technology as something to be feared and morally judged was surprising. Is this an early commentary on AI and automation?

The depiction of laws and health in Erewhon feels so exaggerated yet pointed. I'm curious whether Butler based these on specific societal critiques or just creative imagination.
