Summary "Het toekomend jaar drie duizend: Eene mijmering" by Arend Fokke Simonsz is a speculative fiction work written in the late 18th century. The text opens with a reflective tone, suggesting the author explores the possible future of society, knowledge, and human existence, potentially rich in irony and philosophical musings. The narrative appears to include a fictitious guide who leads the protagonist through a future society, examining how human conditions have evolved over time. The opening of the narrative introduces the author's musings about the future, specifically the year 3000, as a continuation of thoughts he previously shared on contemporary poetry. The protagonist finds himself conversing with a being from this distant future, seeking insights on how knowledge and society have transformed. As they engage in discussions about philosophy, sciences, and the state of humanity, the story unfolds a vision of a world that has shifted its focus from wealth and commerce to knowledge and spirituality. The characters reflect on their society's past and the progress achieved, highlighting changes in mindset and ethics, such as the rejection of extravagance in favor of simplicity and wisdom.
