Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

The book comes across as a bit dated to me and it's hard to engage otherwise. When I read Sherlock Holmes stories I notice the same thing, technology and ideas that were cutting edge at the time just don't have the shock value in modern age. There is a lot of imagining of what living a sub would be like and I feel like a lot of it is plain wrong. Romantic and probably interesting for the time, but wrong and in this day and age noticeably so.

It was shortish, so I appreciate that. I feel like this could get a re-write given the robber barons of today. Jeff Bezos declares a burning hatred of humanity and retreats to the sea. Maybe I'll go write that book....
