Abstract
This article explores the reasons why Jack London’s story “The Minions of Midas” has been a largely overlooked story in literary criticism. I will argue that this story has a great significance both in terms of its form as well as in terms of the ideas and questions it raises. In order to support such views, I have used various methods in the research, such as: examining critics’ views; discussing the results of a questionnaire concerning the story; as well as interpreting the story as an instance of dystopian fiction.
