"Philip Dru: Administrator: A Story of Tomorrow, 1920-1935" by Edward Mandell House is a futuristic political novel published anonymously in 1912. The story follows a military hero who leads the democratic West against the plutocratic East in a civil war, then becomes the country's administrator. House outlines sweeping reforms including federal incorporation, government ownership of utilities, labor protections, and social insurance. The novel eerily foreshadowed actual policies implemented during the Wilson administration, where House served as a close advisor, making it a significant political document.
