Synopsis

The Inner House (1888), which has been described as “a proto-Brave New World,” explores the consequences of artificially prolonged human life. On June 20, 1890, Professor Schwarzbaum announces at the Royal Institute and in various newspapers all over the world that he has invented an elixir which prevents ageing in the human body.
