Summary
:
What will the world be like in 2889? Jules Verne attempted to extrapolate the future from then-current trends in technology and science, and the result is a sometimes humorous, sometimes surprising look at the year 2889. "Houses a 100 feet high"! An almost world dominating wealthy tycoon worth the staggering sum of "10,000,000,000.00"!
