In Berlin of 2041, millions of citizens live underground. Strictly rationed food is available only to workers, Christianity is banned, and breeding is governed by eugenics. This gripping dystopian novel, originally published in 1919, offers a remarkably prescient vision of Nazi ideology and constitutes a landmark of science fiction.
