Publisher's Synopsis
""Mr. East's Experiences in Mr. Bellamy's World: Records of the Years 2001 and 2002"" is a science fiction novel written by Conrad Wilbrandt and first published in 1891. The story follows the adventures of a man named Mr. East, who awakens from a coma in the year 2001 to find himself in a utopian society based on the ideas presented in Edward Bellamy's novel ""Looking Backward"". As Mr. East explores this new world, he encounters a society that has abolished money, private property, and competition, and has instead embraced a system of communal living and shared resources. He also discovers that the world is run by a centralized government, which has eliminated crime and poverty, but also restricts personal freedom and individuality. Throughout the novel, Mr. East grapples with his own beliefs and values in this new society, and ultimately must decide whether he wants to remain in this utopia or return to his own time. ""Mr. East's Experiences in Mr. Bellamy's World"" is a fascinating glimpse into the utopian ideals of the late 19th century, and a thought-provoking exploration of the trade-offs between individual freedom and societal harmony.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
