Viac o knihe

Set in a future society, the story follows Julian West, a young American who awakens from a hypnosis-induced sleep to discover a transformed world 113 years later. In this utopia, equality prevails, with wealth distributed evenly and citizens benefiting from early retirement and rapid delivery services. Bellamy explores innovative concepts such as a cable system for entertainment and a reformed legal system where crime is treated as a medical issue. The narrative also discusses the implications of socialism on civil lawsuits and public resources.
