This futuristic work attempted to project American life in the year 2000—then 112 years in the future. It is remarkable how many elements he successfully predicted. In this famous quote, he correctly anticipated the growth of small businesses, the transition possibilities between workers and employers. At the time, workers and employers were distinct social and economic classes with much hostility between them and relatively little class mobility. Conflicts—even bloody ones—between labor unions and employers were common. Very fascinating is his prediction regarding labor unions. At the time a minority of workers were members of unions and much of the labor strife was caused by companies trying to prevent unionization and unions trying to organize more workers. 60 years after this prediction Bellamy appeared to have been wrong in that the labor movement had grown tremendously and much larger percentage of the workforce were Union members. However, the percentage of unionized workers began to decline and by the year 2000—his target year of his prediction—a comparatively few workers were union members. While labor leaders of 2000 would argue that unions were needed as much as ever, the vast majority of the workforce tended to agree that they had become unnecessary.
