A version of the sleeper wakes in which a man is accidentally knocked out in the 1950s and appears to awake in a 2000 quite different from that in Bellamy\’s Looking Backward (1888). In the \‘50s all the frozen food businesses are going broke from undermining each other. In 2000, they have combined through what is called an Impartial Industrial Authority, as have other industries. Essentially, each industry controls everything related to the industry, such as, for example, food is only available frozen and it is available everywhere. All work industries in tandem to create a society where cities are air conditioned, \“the function of government is to serve industry, not run it\” (104), minimum prices are set by law, and supply and demand was equalized. For analysis and context, see Justin Nordstrom, \“A Frozen Fantasy for Cold War America.\” Utopian Studies 34.2 (2023): 174-192.
