NDLI: Looking Backward, Looking Forward: Reflections on the 20th Century

Content Provider	Semantic Scholar
Author	Feenberg, Andrew
Copyright Year	2000
Abstract	In the year 1888, Edward Bellamy published a prophetic science fiction novel entitled Looking Backward: 2000-1887. His insomniac hero sleeps hypnotized in an underground chamber where he survives the fire that destroys his house. Undiscovered amidst the ruins, he dozes on in suspended animation for more than a century, awakening finally in the year 2000 in a Boston transformed into a socialist utopia. Most of the book is taken up with his puzzled questions about his new surroundings and his hosts' lucid explanations of the workings of an ideal society.
