Title: Incredible vision (terrible plot)
Product review: Verne's ability to extrapolate a remarkably accurate vision of the future by dreaming of uses for the new inventions of his day is incredible. he foresees the mass-market use of paper made from wood pulp, automobiles, calculators, fax machines...etc. by looking closely at the inventions that are just beginning to receive attention in his own time. The plot of this novel is not really worth anything; it serves only as a framework around which this vision of 1960 Paris is built. This is a good (short) read for anyone interested in how technology evolves and might serve as a primer for aspiring futurists.
