In the Year 2889 by Jules Verne

A classic Victorian science fiction novel from the author of Around the World in Eighty Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth .

From one of the fathers of science fiction and the great-grandfather of steampunk—and purportedly coauthored by his son, Michel—this 1889 story covers a day in the life of a newspaper magnate a millennium into the future. The novel is replete with technological predictions both prescient and improbable, such as video telephones, pneumatic transportation tubes, air cars, built-in furniture, a managed climate, and scientifically prepared food.

"An exercise in letting imagination run free on describing the world of a thousand years into the future." — genxposé
