Historical Strategies

The historical strategies explains where the novel takes place and when the novel was written. The novel was written in the 1920's but was based on the extreme future..past our time now, because the narrator is talking to us as their unknown reader and as ancestors. The novel also takes place in One State which to the reader is a somewhat of a mysterious place because from what i understand it is very secluded and is run by one controlling benefactor that is seen once a year...the one very important fact is that the extreme future is controlled and there is no individualism. The strategy is used very well throughout the book.
