Looking Backward, 2000 to 1887

One of the most influential utopian novels ever written. A Boston gentleman lies down to sleep in a sealed underground chamber in 1887 and is dug out, unaged, in the year 2000 — into a city with no money, no advertising, no servants, and no poor. Edward Bellamy's romance sold in the hundreds of thousands, inspired more than 160 Nationalist clubs across America, and made a mild journalist briefly the most politically dangerous man in the country. This edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 43 full-page color plates.
