In The Year 2889, by Jules Verne & Michel Verne

[@susanknight4841]

Amazing sci fi "predictions" by Jules and Michel Verne. The allocation of countries at the end was almost comical. Loved the part where unlike many other countries Australia wasn't available for annexing because it had its own independent government.😄

10 billion in wealth, how many people have that and more, in the year 2024.

Probably more than we realise, I'd wager.
