X Abstract

<div>Stimulating, thought-provoking utopian fantasy about a young man who’s put into a hypnotic sleep in the late 19th century and awakens in the year 2000 to find a vastly changed world where crime, war and want no longer exist. A provocative study of human society as it is and as it might be.<br></div> Edward Bellamy's utopian novel about a nineteenth-century Bostonian who awakes after a sleep of more than one hundred years to find himself in the year 2000 in a world of near-perfect cooperation, harmony, and prosperity. The novel had an enormous impact at the time of its publication, setting in motion a wave of reform activity and creating a vogue for utopian novels that continued over the next three decades.
