The narrator repeatedly insults his readers of 2050 and wishes he were instead addressing readers of 2025, when somewhat fewer were boneheads. He looks back to early nineteenth-century Indiana where two utopian experiments were launched in the village of New Harmony. He then recounts the adventures of a another attempt to recreate utopian ideals during the turn of the twentieth century--a new "Boatload of Knowledge" on the banks of the Wabash.
