Equality In the Year 2000 

Julian West had been put into a hypnotic trance and placed in a sealed room. Then the house burned down and he was forgotten…until he awoke forty years later. It was the year 2000, and it seemed like Utopia.But would it be Utopia for Julian West? He was a man of the past, totally unable to adapt to the unbelievable social, political and cultural changes; totally unable to assimilate the explosive advances in all branches of knowledge. Julian West was a child, lost among the wonders of the Twenty-First Century — but he would have to adapt and learn if he wanted to survive.
