An early science fiction tale, speculating on what daily life would be like in the year 2000. Turns out Americans are fully exploring (and hoping to exploit) the planets of Jupiter and Saturn. And more, much more. Written by American businessman and mogul John Jacob Astor IV (1864-1912). A terrific copy of this intriguing novel.
