Summary

And here we go with the promised second part of ‘Imagined Futures’ ie. what people in the past thought the future would actually be like. Here we’ll have Frenchman Louis-Sébastien Mercier’s incredible predictions of the year 2440, written in 1771. Plus we have: underwater croquet, underwater racing with eels used in place of horses, underwater submarine buses, and a whale bus.. It’s how people of the 1800s imagined the year 2000!
