Jules Verne: In the Year 2889

This is short story that was originally attributed to Jules Verne but was in all likelihood written by his son Michel.

As a story, this is all over the place and serves as a mere collection of headlines of what inventions have been made by the year 2889 to make life easier. There is no plot, no twist, no development.

There is a moral, tho: You can event all you like, but death cannot be defeated and the year will still only have 365 days – 366 in a leap year.
