In the Year 2889 was first published in the Forum, February, 1889. It was published in France the next year. Although published under the name of Jules Verne, it is now believed to be chiefly if not entirely the work of Jules Verne's son, Michel Verne. In any event, many of the topics in the article echo Jules Verne's ideas.
Reviews with the most likes.
130+ years after being published, this gets so much right, and so much wrong.
Interesting take on Earthly life 1000 years in the future (from the time it was published), but not much substance to the tale; more of a vignette of the “daily life” of the de facto ruler of the globe.
