A Day in the Life of an American Journalist in 2889
About This Novel
People in the 29th century live in a constantly changing environment, but on the surface they seem to feel nothing. They are tired of the miracles and beautiful scenery, and are very indifferent to the rapid progress and achievements. Everything feels natural to them. However, if we compare it with the past, they will cherish our civilization more and pay attention to the road we have traveled. By then, our modern cities will become even more outstanding, with roads up to 100 meters wide, buildings 300 meters high, constant temperatures inside the buildings, and tens of millions of air cars and air buses shuttling in the sky! The population of these cities sometimes reaches 10 million, surrounded by villages large and small from 1,000 years ago. Cities like Paris, London, Berlin, and New York used to have dirty air, muddy roads, and rickety carriages coming and going - yes, they were pulled by horses! Unbelievable! If horses can make people imagine the imperfect functions of mail ships and railways, the frequent collisions of ships and trains, and the snail's pace, then how much money will passengers not spend on taking an air train, especially an undersea pressure tube with a speed of 1,500 kilometers per hour? Finally, people at that time thought that our ancestors had to use the so-called "telegraph", a tool from the ancient times. Isn't it much more comfortable now that we can use telephones and faxes?
