(William Shuler) 1865 Harris, William Shuler Life in a Thousand Worlds E-text prepared by Steven desJardins and Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders "Life in a Thousand Worlds" by W. S. Harris is a fantastical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative embarks on a metaphysical journey through various worlds in the universe, characterized by unique civilizations and differing societal structures. The author posits that these worlds are inhabited by intelligent beings, and the book provides rich descriptions of life, culture, and challenges across these imagined planets, merging speculative fiction with commentary on the human condition. At the start of the narrative, the author presents the premise of countless worlds existing in the vast universe and expresses a firm belief in their habitability. The journey begins with the exploration of the Moon, where the inhabitants, called Moonites, display remarkable adaptations to their environment, such as consuming solid air for sustenance. As the author interacts with these beings and observes their peculiar customs, he reflects on humanity’s own place in the cosmic hierarchy, striving to provide insights into the nature of existence across diverse worlds. This initial chapter sets the stage for a series of explorations into planets like Mars and Jupiter, pointing towards an overarching theme of comparative analysis between Earth and these extramundane societies.
