Description
A la recherche de la société juste et heureuse, la seconde moitié du XIXème siècle a multiplié les utopies. L'an 3000 du pathologiste italien Paolo Mantegazza est, en 1887, l'une des ultimes expressions de la confiance en l'effort et dans le génie humain. Lue à la lumière des tragiques expériences du XXe siècle, cette optimiste vision de l'avenir, pour la première fois traduite en français, prend pour le lecteur moderne les allures inquiétantes d'une anti-utopie scientifique où sont éliminés sans remords les êtres inadaptés et où la pensée même est soumise au dirigisme impitoyable de l'Etat.
Description
A futuristic utopian novel, the book follows two young lovers who, as they travel from Rome to the capital of the United Planetary States to celebrate their "mating union," encounter the marvels of cultural and scientific advances along the way. Intriguing in itself, The Year 3000 is also remarkable for both its vision of the future (predicting an astonishing array of phenomena from airplanes, artificial intelligence, CAT scans, and credit cards to controversies surrounding divorce, abortion, and euthanasia) and the window it opens on fin de siècle Europe.
