In the Year 2889

First published in the Forum in 1889, In the Year 2889 was published in France the next year. A humorous and insightful look into a future society, the novella is now believed to be chiefly if not entirely the work of Jules Verne& apos; s son, Michel Verne, albeit continuing the work of Jules Verne by echoing many of his much-visited themes and ideas.
