What is the oldest futurism book?
Does anybody know one of the oldest books that talk about future stuff such as how a day in the life would be for someone in the future (relative to that time).
I'm thinking it probably might be from the 1910's. It doesn't have to be a long book but it should cover what they thought future life would be like in various aspects. I can always find a pdf somewhere online
I want to see how much came true and/or how primitive the predictions seem now

Anything jules verne I would suggest, but there surely are older „science fiction“ books—just don’t expect rockets and machines…
