Jules Verne's Lost Novel Resurfaces

Original: Jules Verne's Lost Novel

Jules Verne's long-lost novel 'Paris in the Twentieth Century' is drawing renewed attention. Written in 1863 but rejected by his publisher and forgotten for over a century until its 1994 publication, the book imagined a dystopian 1960s Paris filled with technology yet lacking culture. Readers are revisiting how eerily accurate many of Verne's predictions turned out to be.

Why now: A discussion of Verne's recovered manuscript and its strikingly prescient vision is circulating widely.
