Francis Bacon (1561–1626) is a classic author whose works are in the public domain.

Francis Bacon's penetrating meditations dissect power, truth, and human nature with surgical precision, offering Renaissance wisdom that speaks directly to modern ambitions, deceptions, and the eternal struggle between what we know and what we believe.

Bacon's fragmentary vision of an ideal society uses technological advancement and knowledge-sharing as the basis for human flourishing, presenting a utopia built on curiosity rather than doctrine. His New Atlantis reads as a manifesto disguised as fiction.
