Fantasy & SciFi

Step into a dazzling vision of the future in In the Year 2889 by Jules Verne, a pioneering sci-fi short story that imagines a world transformed by technological marvels, scientific advancement, and media monopolies. Originally published in 1889, this speculative tale explores a day in the life of Fritz Napoleon Smith, the powerful head of a global news empire. From video-conference news delivery and airborne transit to life-extension science and space colonization, Verne's prophetic imagination anticipates many elements of our modern world—and beyond. Perfect for fans of classic science fiction, futurism, and visionary storytelling.
