    Old Time Story Time: Anno Domini 2000 Prologue

    Old Time Story Time brings you a public domain New Zealand book one chapter at a time. Sir Julius Vogel published Anno Domini 2000; or, Woman's Destiny in 1889. It is considered Aotearoa New Zealand's first science fiction novel, and has utopian protofeminist themes. CW for ableist language, a few instances of  violence (brief and fairly non-graphic), and a poorly conceived comparison of poverty and slavery.
