Abstract
The book is an example of a utopian science fiction novel, where the main character Julian West is teleported into the future year 2000, where The United States is transformed into a socialist utopia. Born in 19th century America where the difference between rich and poor is waste, Julian has millions of questions about the new world that are answered by Doctor Leete, the protagonist's new guide into the future.
