The novel follows a tradition started by William Morris and his *News from Nowhere* in which the art-theorist is committed to an ideal vision of society through the narrative. Published in a limited edition of 500 copies, it includes aspects from Swedish crime fiction which, in the eyes of PSJM, entail authentic Scandinavian dystopias in which entertainment literature sits quite comfortably with social critique. \u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e *La isla de Hidr\u0026oacute;geno* [The Hydrogen Island] \u0026ndash;a futuristic science-fiction novel, is a part of the project with the same title which has been produced in different media types.
