Publisher's Synopsis
The Children of the Future is a novel written by Nora Archibald Smith and published in 1898. The story is set in the future, where technology has advanced to the point where children are born and raised in artificial environments, without any human contact or emotion. The children are trained to be efficient and productive members of society, but they lack empathy and creativity. The protagonist of the story is a young woman named Mary, who is one of the few people who still remembers what it was like to have a natural upbringing. She becomes a teacher at a school for these ""artificial"" children and tries to awaken their emotions and teach them the value of human connection. As Mary struggles to break through the barriers of the children's programming, she also finds herself falling in love with a man named John, who is similarly disillusioned with the sterile society they live in. Together, they work to bring about a revolution that will change the way children are raised and society functions as a whole. The Children of the Future is a thought-provoking novel that explores the dangers of relying too heavily on technology and the importance of human connection and emotion. It is a classic work of science fiction that remains relevant to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
