The Coming Race Chapter 9

In which the narrator learns through a series of trance-like exchanges the ancient history and social evolution of the subterranean race known as the Ana, whose civilisation emerged from great cataclysms and flourished with the discovery of the potent fluid vril, shaping both their remarkable technology and political harmony. Amidst tranquil governance, refined scholarship, and industrious communities, the tribe’s order is maintained without crime or poverty, fostered by a unique balance of individual freedom and collective spirit, with children engaging in diverse labours suited to their natures under the gentle oversight of learned sages.
