Summary: "1931: A Glance at the Twentieth Century" by Henry Hartshorne is a speculative diary-format book written in the late 19th century that presents a fictional account of the future as perceived from the year 1881. The text explores various sociopolitical, cultural, and technological changes that Hartshorne imagines will occur by 1931, delving into themes like governance, social equity, and public health. The likely topic revolves around utopian visions and reflections on progress in the early 20th century. In the diary, the narrator discusses a range of matters, including shifts in political power, the status of the British monarchy, and the status of race relations in the United States. Hartshorne envisions a future where the United States has expanded to include territories like Mexico and parts of Central America while also contextualizing changes in Europe, such as the evolving roles of England and France post-monarchy. He reflects on advancements in science, technology, and public health, commenting on the societal embrace of women's suffrage and the growing influence of education. The narrative is a rich tapestry of speculative reflections and critical observations, presenting an optimistic yet critical view of societal evolution towards a more equitable and peaceful future.
