Alfred Charles Michaud

Alfred Charles Michaud was an American author born in 1876 and deceased in 1975. The main work that can be confirmed for him is Our coming world, originally published in Philadelphia by World Publication Press in 1951.

That novel later reached new readers through libraries and Project Gutenberg. It is generally described as a utopian or philosophical science-fiction story, using contact with a Martian civilization to explore humanitarian, economic, and social questions.

Very little biographical information about Michaud appears to be readily available in major public sources, which gives him the air of a forgotten one-book author. What does stand out is the ambition of Our coming world: it is less interested in gadgets than in asking how people might build a fairer society.
