Another World: Fragments from the Star City of Montalluyah by Benjamin Lumley
"Another World: Fragments from the Star City of Montalluyah" by Benjamin Lumley is a science fiction narrative written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in Montalluyah, a highly civilized and advanced world inhabited by humans similar to those on Earth. The protagonist, Tootmanyoso, who rises from the son of a king to become the supreme ruler, is dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and the well-being of his society, implementing a transformative philosophy focused on prevention and the elevation of human potential. The opening of this work introduces readers to the philosophical and societal foundations of Montalluyah. Tootmanyoso, imbued with a strong desire to alleviate the sufferings of his people, reflects on the existing state of civilization that mirrors many contemporary issues—greed, disease, and social inequality. As he evolves into a leader, he is determined to apply his insights into governance and education to prevent moral decay and ensure the productive utilization of human talents. Through his trials, he aims to cultivate a society where individuals are matched to their true capabilities, ultimately leading to harmony and prosperity in Montalluyah.
