Summary

The Golden Book of Springfield takes listeners on a strange and mystical journey through the Springfield, Illinois of 2018, where the townspeople are united in their quest to transform their community into a democratic utopia. This visionary narrative offers a glimpse into a Springfield a hundred years hence, a dreamlike realm filled with spiritual and social awakenings. However, as the specter of international war looms, the citizens of Springfield must innovate and band together to safeguard their city and uphold its vision as a practical City of God. This work, Vachel Lindsays sole long-form narrative, stands as a captivating exploration of the utopian fiction genre that emerged following Edward Bellamys Looking Backward. - Summary by Chuck Williamson
