"Born Again" by Alfred Lawson is a bizarre and delightfully silly utopian science-fiction novel that follows the journey of John Convert, a wayward sailor who finds himself on an island inhabited by superhuman giants known as the Sagemen. After being cast overboard by his crew, Convert awakens to a world that challenges his perceptions and beliefs, particularly through his encounter with the giantess Arletta. Lawson's unique blend of idealism and eccentric philosophy invites listeners to reflect on the evils of the world and the possibilities of reform, making it a thought-provoking experience that resonates with contemporary themes of hope and transformation.
