A 4 page thesis paper on the 19th century author Jules Verne. Discussed is Verne's uncanny ability to write futuristic stories that actually turned out to be accurate predictions of what was to come. It is argued that Jules Verne's talent was actually to forecast the effects that his predicted technologies would have upon society itself. 'Five Weeks in a Balloon,' 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth, '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,' & 'Paris in the 21st Century' are among the novels cited. A supporting bibliography also lists 5 critical sources as well.
