| Summary | "Anno Domini 2071" by Pieter Harting is a speculative fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores a futuristic society through the eyes of a narrator who finds himself transported to the city of Londinia in the year 2071. Central themes seem to involve philosophical reflections on human progress, technology, and societal change. At the start of the story, the narrator muses about the nature of progress when he unexpectedly enters a mesmerizing vision of the future. He encounters the figure of the medieval scholar Roger Bacon and a young lady named Phantasia, who guide him through the advanced city. As they navigate the streets, he observes technological marvels such as warm-air distribution systems, the use of aluminium in construction, and new concepts of time. The discussion touches on themes of education, social advancements, and the historical importance of scientific discovery, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of humanity's evolution and potential in this reimagined future.
