Looking Backward, 2000-1887 : by Edward Bellamy (The Bedford Series in History and Culture)
Looking Backward 2000-1887 by Edward Bellamy - The Bedford Series in History and Culture
Author: Edward Bellamy
First published in 1888 and a phenomenal best-seller, Looking Backward is Edward Bellamy's utopian novel about ninteenth-century Bostonian who awakes after a sleep for more than one hundred years to find himself in the year 2000 in a world of near-perfect cooperation, harmony, and prosperity. More than just a fanciful novel, Looking Ba...  more » was, in effect, Bellamy's blueprint for a socialist-type state, conceived in response to problems of the Gilded Age brought on in part by the pace of the late-nineteenth-century industrialization. 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. In addition to an extensive introduction, Daniel Borus's new edition of Looking Backward contains a chronology of Bellamy's life, a bibliography, questions to consider when reading the novel, and an index.

I found this book very interesting - written in the late 1800's about what life would be like in the year 2000, if we, the human race, valued all work and contribution equally.
