Alvarado M. Fuller ~6 hr read

A US Army lieutenant places himself in suspended animation to sleep across a century and wake in the year 2000.

Alvarado Fuller's 1890 novel sends Junius Cobb into a hundred-year slumber to witness the future United States, weaving real Arctic-expedition detail into a Bellamy-era vision of the coming age. An ambitious, of-its-moment utopian time-sleep romance from the boom that followed 'Looking Backward.' Read it for an earnest nineteenth-century leap into the twentieth, dreamed by a serving Army officer.
