	Paris in the 20th Century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The work is also of importance to scholars of Verne's literature, some of whom had long asserted that none of his works ever came close to prophesizing the future of a society as a whole.
		Paris in the Twentieth Century's main character is 16-year-old Michel Dufrénoy, who graduates with a major in literature and the classics but finds they have been forgotten in a futuristic world where only technological writing is valued.
		In his Paris in the 20th Century, Verne predicted or alluded to a wide variety of modern technological items we, and earlier generations, have come to take for granted.

	Citysongs
		By the mid-19th century, Paris was the destination for composers, where they felt compelled to make their names: Fryderyk Chopin, Franz Liszt, and Richard Wagner all came to Paris to establish themselves, even if, like Wagner, they had a severe love-hate relationship with the city and its people.
		As the 19th century ended and the 20th began, Paris remained a major cultural center, for composers both from France (Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel) and from elsewhere (Igor Stravinsky, whose Le Sacre du Printemps premiered at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in 1913).
		Paris was also very receptive to the blues, and Chicago blues guitarist Luther Allison spent many years there, finding a warmer reception in France than in his own country.

		The first half of the twentieth century is sometimes described as the era of physics, and the second half as the era of biology.
		In the past half century the figure of chemistry was completely changed by the introduction of so many analytical methods, by the advent of the computer, by the mastering of processes for synthesis and other techniques down to the manipulation of even single atoms.
		During the second half of the twentieth century, the self-image of the chemical profession was determined to a large extent by a symbiotic relationship between the science and the industry.

	Jules Verne Looks at Wind: A review of Jules Verne's Paris au XXe Siecle
		Jules Verne's long lost novel "Paris in the 20th Century" contains an interesting passage on windmills by the father of science fiction.
		This compressed air was pumped into and stored in Paris' catacombs by "1,853 windmills established on the plains of Montrogue" outside the city.
		It's interesting that in the mid-nineteenth century at least one European literary figure could envision a future where wind farms of thousands of wind machines powered entire cities.
