“I did not like the ending of this book. However, I was fascinated by how much accurate 20th Century technology Verne wrote into this book. He even had a lighthouse almost the exact height, and located only a few feet away, from where the current Eiffel Tower stands. (He wrote this book before Gustav's Tower was built.)”

Verne imagines 8 horse power cars, high rise living, monorails, evan a calculator. Basically this future is dominated by science and technology with the withering away of liberal arts. There is a lot of reference to Paris of the 1860, which went over my head.”
