I think I enjoyed the concept of this book more than its actual content.
I love the idea of a book about what people (now more than) a hundred years ago thought our present day would be like.
The actual texts can mostly be boiled down to “airships will revolutionize every aspect of daily life and also warfare” and “the widespread use of Radium everywhere will wipe out everything bad in the world and amplify everything good, three thumbs up!”

I found it illuminating insofar that I‘m sure a similar book written today would be two dozen dudes having a wank about how 2125 will be AI-everything. So in a way not much has changed at all, for the tech-bro, he is eternal!

Also, should you want to read this book, be aware that it is (of course) very much of its time and especially some of the early texts have some highly questionable things to say about the races of Africa and the Far East.
