Summary/Abstract: This article offers a comparative analysis of Samuel Butler’s novel „Erewhon, or Over the Range“ and Vladimir Poleganov’s „The Other Dream“ through the topic of natural selection and the struggle for territory between machines and humans. Space is examined as a stake in the race for control in which virtuality performs the function of boundary extension for the losing side.
