Summary
Jules Verne: Paris in the 20th Century
If there is anyone who had the power and ability to predict future historical events and technological wonders, it is J. Verne. This marvelous book, the last one he published, talks about something that we are only seeing today and in recent years — technological miracles and the disappearance of books — the abolition of the book as literature and philosophy. There are none in Paris — no one knows about Hugo and his contemporaries, their books do not exist, there is no music, the libraries are walled up — the end of the civilization in which many generations grew up.
