At the age of 13, children undergo a yearly judgment in which any sign of creativity is deemed undesirable. The only catch is that those labeled Unwanted are sent to the Death Farm to be killed. However, we soon discover that these children are secretly rescued by a mage named Mr. Today. This is where the story becomes more engaging and hopeful.</p>Book Reviewshttps://www.thetechnoscholar.com/book-reviews/2024/lord-of-the-world/Sat, 05 Oct 2024 00:00:00 -0500https://www.thetechnoscholar.com/book-reviews/2024/lord-of-the-world/<p><em>Lord of the World</em> was written by Robert Hugh Benson, a Catholic priest, and published in 1907. Benson himself was a convert to the Catholic faith. He wrote this novel about a dystopian society centered around an anti-Christ figure, Julian Felsenburgh. This is a very packed and well-written novel! It shows one way that the Book of Revelations in the Bible and the loss of Christian faith could happen. The central theme is a growing belief in Humanism while denying Christianity and belief in God.</p>Book Reviews
