Anno 2070: Een Blik In De Toekomst

Anno 2070: een blik in de toekomst

by Pieter Harting

Pieter Harting, writing under the pseudonym Dr. Dioscorides, published 'Anno 2065' in 1865, filled with predictions about technological advancements in the future. The book's uncanny accuracy in predicting the emergence of technologies like rail tunnels led to a revised edition titled 'Anno 2070', published in 1870, to account for the rapid pace of progress. Harting's observations humorously highlight the challenge of predicting the future and the constant acceleration of technological advancement.
