We peer further into Edward Bellamy's fictional Boston of the year 2000, looking at this social machinery as a seed of the technological and social disciplines imposed in the twentieth century. In our studies, utopianism and dystopianism meet in the public sphere that re-submerges the individual under the power of state.
Reading: Bellamy chapter 14 through conclusion
Notes: National-Socialism in Looking Backward
