Description
Published in 1888, "Looking Backward: 2000-1887" is a highly influential work of utopian science fiction by American journalist Edward Bellamy. In the years following the American Civil War, social and economic turmoil led to an appetite for solutions to address the negative effects of capitalism.
The story follows Julian West, who is induced into a deep 113-year sleep through hypnosis. Upon waking in the year 2000, he finds America transformed into a socialist utopia, where people work together in mutual cooperation and harmony. This edition includes an introduction by Sylvester Baxter, printed on premium acid-free paper.
