Mostly prediction but includes a technological eutopia. In “A View of The Future--A Fictional Preview” (20-27) Los Angeles has banned the internal combustion engine, highways are automated. Large buildings house both companies and their workers with 300,000 people living in a single building. Free underground public transportation. The distinction between weekdays and weekends has been abolished and everyone works four days out of the seven. Schools are largely computerized with access twenty-four hours a day seven days a week, and students work at their own pace. Medical care and finances will also be mostly computerized.
