Summary: "The Age of Science: A Newspaper of the Twentieth Century" by Merlin Nostradamus is a satirical work created as a mock newspaper, reflecting a speculative view of the future during the late 19th century. This book presents a fictional account of society in the late 20th century, exploring themes of scientific advancement, societal norms, and the role of medicine in a transformed world. It combines elements of speculative fiction with social commentary, making it a unique exploration of the intersection between science and everyday life. The content of "The Age of Science" delves into a future where scientific pursuits dominate human existence, often at the expense of traditional social institutions, religion, and literature. The newspaper features a wide range of articles, including reports on scientific congresses, medical advancements, and societal regulations enforcing health and safety. The societal structure depicted is heavily reliant on a medical elite, with humorous yet critical commentary on the absurdity of extreme medical governance, such as laws that prohibit any form of dissent against medical practices. Through a variety of topics such as the development of a Prospective Telegraph, the abolition of certain historical concepts, and the bizarre interplay between science and daily life, the book presents an exaggerated yet thought-provoking consideration of a future heavily influenced by scientific ideology.
