概要
 Looking Backward 2000-1887 is a thought-provoking utopian novel by Edward Bellamy, originally published in 1888. It quickly became one of the bestsellers of its era, ranking just behind Uncle Toms Cabin and Ben-Hur A Tale of the Christ. The story follows Julian West, a young American who, at the close of the 19th century, falls into a deep, hypnosis-induced slumber and awakens over a century later in the year 2000. To his astonishment, he discovers that Boston, Massachusetts, has transformed into a socialist utopia, radically reshaping the society he once knew. Through this narrative, Bellamy presents his visionary ideas for a better future and critiques the harsh realities of industrial capitalism. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia)
