Anna Bowman Dodd's 1897 science fiction book -- presented as a series of letters from a Swedish nobleman writing to a friend in Christiana while visiting the socialist republic in America in 2050 -- offers travel by balloons and pneumatic tubes, a glimpse of a future New York where socialists have eliminated religion, distinctions between the sexes, and mechanized all labor. Amazingly inventive, this dystopian, anti-socialist work is remarkable on many levels.
