In 1883, the notorious anarchist Louise Michel (1830-1905) was
sentenced to six years of solitary confinement; effectively deprived of
communication, she had had no refuge but writing. It is during that time
that she penned The Human Microbes (published in 1887), as a distraction
from her awful circumstances. It was followed by a sequel, The New
World, published in a truncated form in 1888, due to Michel being
shot in the head that year. Both are modeled on the classic feuilleton
serials of the 1840s and were intended to be part of a six-novel series,
in which Mankind would build a new utopia on Earth before moving out into
space.
