Lord of the World by Robert Hugh Benson
"Lord of the World" by Robert Hugh Benson is a dystopian science fiction novel published in 1907. In the early 21st century, the world has consolidated into three superstates, where Catholicism faces extinction amid rising secular humanism and global peace.

As humanity embraces a new religion that worships Man as God, a small remnant of Catholic
faithful must confront an apocalyptic confrontation between ancient faith and a seductive new world order. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
