Description
Julian West's journey through time takes him from 1887 to 2000, a century and a half that transforms America into a rigorously centralized democratic society. In this vision of the future, technological inventions have transformed everyday life, and the horrors of nineteenth-century capitalism are all but forgotten. As Julian settles into his new surroundings, he struggles to reconcile his experiences as a time traveller with the reality of his new world. Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward is a thought-provoking exploration of this utopian society, offering a critique of industrial capitalism and a glimpse into life in a socialist utopia. This edition, part of Oxford World's Classics, presents an affordable and authoritative version of the text, accompanied by expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study.
