Die Inseln der Weisheit (The Islands of Wisdom) is a 1922 novel by Alexander Moszkowski that features expeditions to various utopian and dystopian islands that embody various social-political ideas of European philosophy and extrapolates them for their absurdities when they are put into practice.[1]
The novel's "island of technology" Sarragalla anticipates mobile telephones and a thorough mechanization of life.[1]
The satire of utopias also reproduces the society described in Plato's The Republic.[2]
