Looking Backward - (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels) by Edward Bellamy (Paperback)

Looking Backward is a thought-provoking and imaginative novel that explores the possibilities of a utopian future.

Written in 1888, this book has stood the test of time and continues to inspire readers with its vision of a society free from crime, war, and want.

The story follows Julian West, a young man who is put into a hypnotic trance in the late nineteenth century and awakens in the year 2000 to find a world that is vastly different from the one he knew. In this futuristic society, equality of the sexes is a fact of life, and technology has advanced beyond anything West could have imagined.

The novel is both entertaining and stimulating, providing a provocative study of human society as it is and as it might be.

With its daring predictions of radio, television, motion pictures, and credit cards, Looking Backward is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the possibilities of a utopian future.
