About this book

"Vuonna 2000: Katsaus vuoteen 1887" by Edward Bellamy is a utopian science fiction novel first published in 1888. When Julian West falls into a hypnosis-induced sleep in 1887 Boston, he awakens 113 years later to discover America transformed into a socialist utopia. Through dialogues with his guide Doctor Leete, West explores this radically reimagined society where industry is nationalized, goods are equally distributed, and citizens work reduced hours before retiring at 45. The novel sparked a political mass movement and inspired over 162 discussion clubs across America.
