Looking Backward

Awake in the Future. Asleep in the Past.

Boston, 1887: Julian West enters a trance-like sleep, overwhelmed by the industrial strife and social inequality of his era.

He awakens in the year 2000 to a society beyond his wildest dreams. Poverty, war, and greed are relics of the past, replaced by a peaceful, technologically advanced utopia. Guided by Dr. Leete, Julian explores this new world of shared prosperity and astonishing inventions, while forming a connection that challenges his very sense of belonging.

A landmark of speculative fiction, Edward Bellamy's visionary novel is a gripping journey and a powerful critique that remains startlingly relevant. This utopian classic is a clean read, free from sexually explicit content, focusing on its profound social and political themes.
