Paradise Found Or The Superman Found Out: In Three Acts is a play written by Allen Upward and published in 1915. The play is set in a future utopian society where the government has created a perfect world without any problems or conflicts. However, the citizens of this society have become complacent and lack ambition, leading to a stagnant society. The play follows the character of John, a man who is dissatisfied with the current state of the world and seeks to find a way to improve it. He discovers a group of individuals who have developed superhuman abilities and are working towards creating a new world order. John becomes enamored with their ideas and joins them in their quest to create a new society. As the play progresses, John begins to realize that the group's vision of a perfect society is flawed and that their methods are dangerous. He ultimately decides to abandon their cause and instead work towards finding a way to improve the current society without resorting to extreme measures. Paradise Found Or The Superman Found Out: In Three Acts explores themes of utopianism, ambition, and the dangers of seeking perfection at any cost. It is a thought-provoking play that challenges readers to consider the implications of a perfect society and the sacrifices that may be required to achieve it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
