Moving the Mountain by Charlotte Perkins Gilman audiobook.
Genre: scifi
When John Robertson returns to the United States after three decades away, he expects to find familiar streets, old habits, and the same social battles he once knew. Instead, he steps into a nation quietly transformed by a sweeping, practical reorganization of everyday life. Taken in by relatives and new acquaintances, John becomes a curious outsider in his own homeland, touring workplaces, homes, schools, and public spaces that run with striking efficiency and unexpected warmth. As he struggles to make sense of what has changed, he meets people who embody the new order: women and men reshaping family life, labor, health, and civic responsibility around cooperation rather than competition. But John's amazement soon turns to unease as he realizes that progress has a price, and that not everyone welcomes a society built on shared standards, public planning, and a redefined idea of freedom. Moving the Mountain is Charlotte Perkins Gilman's visionary utopian novel, mixing satire and earnest social critique to ask what a modern nation might become if it treated care, work, and equality as core infrastructure.
