| dc.description.abstract | The book follows an unnamed narrator who discovers the planet Maker, where he encounters a unique society governed by a new legal system. He details the laws and customs of this world, offering insights into its way of life. Through comparisons and contrasts with Earth, the narrative highlights the similarities and differences between the two planets. This exploration positions Memoirs of Planetes, or a Sketch of the Laws and Manners of Maker as an early example of utopian fiction. | |
