Summary "Vuonna 2000: Katsaus vuoteen 1887" by Edward Bellamy is a science fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores a dystopian vision of the future, focusing on societal issues and critiques of the existing class system. The protagonist, Julian West, unexpectedly wakes up in the year 2000 after a prolonged period of unconsciousness, allowing him to compare the radical societal changes with the inequalities of his own time. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Julian West's unique journey. He begins by recounting his life as a wealthy individual in late 19th century Boston, where he blindly enjoyed the luxuries afforded by the labor of others. As the narrative unfolds, West is drawn into a deeper understanding of his society's disparities through his creation of an underground chamber. When he awakens, he discovers that he has slept for over a century, during which time profound social transformations have occurred. The new world he encounters is marked by equity and cooperation, contrasting sharply with the individualistic and exploitative nature of his own past. The beginning of the book captures his astonishment and confusion as he grapples with the reality of this future society, raising questions about the nature of progress and human dignity.
