Equality: In the Year 2000 - a sequel to Looking Backward, From the Year 2000 (Reynolds' take on Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward) - showing Mack Reynolds' ideas about the politics and economics of an energy-affluent society. Julian West had been put into a hypnotic trance and placed in a sealed room. Then the house burned down and he was forgotten... until he awoke 40 years later. It was the Year 2000, and it seemed like Utopia. But would it be Utopia for Julian West? He was a man of the past, totally unable to adapt to the unbelievable social, political, and cultural changes; totally unable to assimilate the explosive advances in all branches of knowledge. Julian West was a child, lost among the wonders of the Twenty-First Century - but he would have to adapt and learn if he wanted to survive.
