In the Year 2889 Jules Verne

In a world where people travel through pneumatic tubes and flying trains and still don't marvel the grandness of it all. For them it is commonplace. This book talks about a little bit of history in their time and a little bit of comparison to their time and our time or even earlier. Later in the book a man is going to be defrosted from cryogenic like conditions. He put himself into these conditions because he is a strong believer in human hibernation. In the last few sentences it merely states that he will be awakened at a very successful man’s house. It is unclear whether he lives or not. I enjoyed this story because it applied a lot of concepts that we currently consider very futuristic. It also applies many concepts currently spotlighted by media. The only negative thing that I can say about this story is that it jumps around from character to character a lot and gets fairly confusing.
