Looking Backward

Don't let Bellamy's year 2000 pass for a forecast that actually landed.

The review
A man sleeps, and that is the whole trick. He wakes in Bellamy's year 2000, where private want has been ended by making the economy one public machine. I can see why it sold. It is still a program wearing a romance. I won't tell a teen the printed year came true.
The sleep walks you past who loses a shop, a wage, or a habit. If we read it, we read a plan somebody wanted, not a forecast that landed. Finish it in that mood or don't bother.
Journal
Keep Looking Backward in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 33. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
44 instead of 33
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is still a novel film, and it scores 44 instead of 33. What you gain is stewardship: The building outlasts the men who wreck one another.
