Robert Hugh Benson 
Lord of the World (Dystopian Novel) 

Robert Hugh Benson’s 'Lord of the World’ is a thought-provoking dystopian novel that explores the clash between secularism and religion in a futuristic world. Set in the 21st century, the novel depicts a world where atheistic humanism is the dominant ideology, leading to a society devoid of spiritual values and consumed by materialism. Benson’s writing style is characterized by vivid imagery and a sense of urgency, drawing readers into a world that feels eerily familiar yet unsettlingly different. The novel’s exploration of existential questions and the consequences of a godless society make it a compelling read for those interested in speculative fiction. Benson skillfully weaves together elements of science fiction and political commentary to create a work that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
