Looking Backward: 2000 to 1887 - Edward Bellamy

A man named Julian West falls asleep in 19th-century America and awakens in the year 2000. He discovers a transformed society where poverty, greed, and inequality have been eliminated through a cooperative, socialist economy. Guided by his host, Dr. Leete, West learns how industry and labor have been reorganized for the common good. The novel contrasts the injustices of the Gilded Age with Bellamy’s vision of a harmonious and efficient future utopia.
