News from Nowhere is a classic work of utopian fiction written by the artist, designer and socialist pioneer William Morris. In the book, the narrator falls asleep after returning from a meeting of the Socialist League and awakes to find himself in a future society based on common ownership and democratic control of the means of production. The remainder of the book explores a number of aspects of this society, including its organisation and the relationships which it engenders between people. The book offers Morris' response to a number of frequent objections to socialism, and underlines his belief that socialism will entail not only the abolishment of private property but also of the divisions between art, life and work.
News from Nowhere was first published in serial form in the Commonweal journal in 1890.
Of Morris' other socialist writings, A Dream of John Ball is the best-known.
