baumhaus.digital/Studium Generale/Mythologies of possible futures: Between Science Fiction and Reality/19th century/Paris in the 20th century
Verne's dystopian vision of Paris in 1960 — ruled by finance, speed, and machinery.
Young Michel Dufrénoy, a poet, wanders through a cold, electric metropolis.
Science and industry dominate; literature and beauty are obsolete.
He fails to find love, meaning, or recognition in a mechanized society.
The story ends in isolation and despair — the poet buried beneath technological triumph.
Verne’s "lost" novel: a prophetic elegy for imagination in an age of machines.
