Looking Backward: 2000-1887 by Edward Bellamy (1850-1898)

 A year or 2 ago I got this book from Gutenberg Project & used Natural Reader & Cepstral text to speech software to make an audio book. I listened as far as where the doctor explains to the awakened sleeper how great the socialized economy is. I couldn't take all the fluff and skipped the book. I guess I'm just to conservative or a capitalist that's seen real world examples of socialism failures (collapse of U.S.S.R., Canadians coming to the US for medical treatment, China converting from socialism to capitalism) to tolerate this socialist propaganda.
