Looking Backward is a utopian novel by Edward Bellamy, envisioning a future society based on social equality and economic prosperity. Set in the year 2000, the story follows Julian West, who falls into a deep sleep in 1887 and awakens to find himself in a transformed world. In this idealistic society, known as the "Great Trust, " all citizens enjoy equal access to resources and opportunities, and labor is organized cooperatively for the common good. Through West's eyes, readers witness the benefits of a planned economy, universal education, and social harmony. Bellamy's vision of a utopian future serves as a critique of the inequalities and injustices of Gilded Age America, offering a hopeful alternative grounded in socialist principles. "Looking Backward" continues to inspire readers with its optimism and vision of a more equitable and just society.
