| Summary | "1970: A Vision of the Coming Age" by John Collins is a poetic vision written in the late 19th century. The book explores an imagined future in the year 1970, where remarkable advancements in technology, society, and morality create a utopian world. The themes center on idealism and the evolution of human nature, reflecting the author's aspirations for a more harmonious and enlightened society. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of a traveler who experiences the tranquil beauty of a future utopia. He observes an absence of crime, illness, and poverty, showcasing a world where human beings live in peace and cooperation. Technological marvels such as airships and efficient communication systems allow for seamless connections among people. The traveler encounters communities that value love, honesty, and education, with nature flourishing in harmony with humanity. Through various vivid descriptions, the poem contrasts the joys of this future world with the harsh realities of the past, culminating in an optimistic conclusion that this vision, though seemingly a dream, could be attainable.
