Oh man, I recently finished some of his novels and it is astounding to see the optimism he had for us, considering he was writing in a world before any world wars happened.

I really would like to live in a Vernian world where people are mostly good and rationalism wins the day. But I also would like to live in Discworld (maybe except Fourecks) so caveat emptor! :'D

You should try and read the dystopian novel he wrote, it was first published in 1994. It paints a very bleak dystopian picture of Paris, it is an interesting contrast to his other works https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_in_the_Twentieth_Century
