Looking Backward from 2000 to 1887 by Edward Bellamy

Written in the 1880s, LOOKING BACKWARD 2000-1887 was one of the best-selling books of the 19th century. Set in the distant future of 2000, the story follows Julian West, an American who awakes from a trance after 113 years. The world he discovers has been transformed into a socialist utopia, which Bellamy successfully contrasts with contemporary 1880s society.
