Dystopian. The author, incidentally (ha!), was president of the National
Association of Manufacturers and launched its aggressive anti-union strategy
in 1902. Swathes of the narrative were lifted almost intact from a
anti-trade union propaganda tirade, The Crisis in British Industry, that
appeared in the London Times in November 1901.
