The New Atlantis
Francis Bacon et Sir Francis Bacon
Lu par Bill Boerst
In 1623, Francis Bacon expressed his aspirations and ideas in New Atlantis. Released in 1627, this was his creation of an ideal land where people were kind, knowledgeable, and civic-minded. Part of this new land was his perfect college, a vision for our modern research universities. Islands he had visited may have served as models for his ideas. ( Summary by Wikipedia ) (1 hr 37 min)

Critiques
Enjoyable

It was an enjoyable story, though the description leaves out the first half of it being about a unknown land of Christian peoples. The description of the scientific laboratory is not until the last two chapters and is only part off the story.

The truth is stranger than the supposed “fiction”. Well read Sir!
