Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Dreamtown, U.S.A." by Leo P. Kelley is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story presents a dystopian vision of a future America where intellectual pursuits, art, and education have been all but eliminated, replaced by hedonism and superficial entertainment. The narrative explores the consequences of this societal shift and the emergence of a group of Rebels who strive to reclaim their lost values and culture. In this tale, the protagonists, including a professor and his daughter, are part of a resistance movement that seeks to challenge the oppressive regime known as the Council, which governs Dreamtown. They fight to restore the access to books, art, and knowledge that has been systematically eradicated. The plot unfolds as they plan a daring raid on Dreamtown to liberate their people and dismantle the Council's control. With moments of tension, action, and heartfelt connections between characters, the story culminates in a powerful resolution that emphasizes hope, the importance of knowledge, and the desire to rebuild a society based on deeper values rather than mere pleasure.
