I've been reading a lot of nineteenth century occult stuff lately. 'A Dweller on Two Planets' is an interesting artifact but hardly everything it is made out to be. If you read between the lines, it's more likely it was completed in 1899 rather than 1886, so the technology futurism isn't to the level of HG Wells.

There is a sociology PhD waiting for someone who really digs into Oliver and his writings.

Anyway, thanks for posting it!
