What is there to surprise the modern reader? If anyone has a doubt about Jules Verne's writing power, they should be advised to read Paris in the Twentieth Century immediately. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of The pair visit Uncle Huguenin and are joined by other visitors, Michel's former teacher Monsieur Richelot and Richelot's granddaughter, Mademoiselle Lucy.

What makes it very interesting, however, is the accuracy of its many predictions about the future. Come for the prescient description of modern France, stay for the funeral of the arts!
Michel's fear of not fitting in is resolved; he can be a reader and still work on his own writing after work. (I managed to bury my copy for the past 15 years until the work was recently mentioned by Andrei Codrescu on NPR.)
