''The Inheritors: An Extravagant Story'' (1901) is a quasi-science fiction novel on which Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford (writing as Ford M. Heuffer) collaborated. Written before the first World War, its themes of corruption and the effect of the 20th century on British aristocracy were prescient. It was first published in London by William Heinemann and later the same year in New York by McClure, Phillips and Company.

Its narrator is an aspiring writer who himself makes a similar transition at a personal level only to feel he has lost everything. Plot introduction The inheritors are a breed of cold materialists, calling themselves Fourth Dimensionists, whose task is to occupy the earth. ...
