Presented through a series of letters which describe the laws, history etc. of the colony. Its a purely puritan/omish system, cromwell would be proud, the main town is even called Salem.
Its main utopian idea is that everyone gets an equal sized piece of land (with some variation depending on soil quality). There doesn't seem to be any trade, each family live off their own land.
While its ideology is extreme it is at least not too hypocritical. The author uses a lot of references to backup his ideas and also takes potshots, at wars, slavery, the genocide of the south americans by the spainish, the distribution of alcohol to the native americans etc.
