		In contrast, despite its frequent detailed descriptions of high-tech gadgetry and its occasional flashes of wit and humour, this dark and troubling tale paints a future world that is oppressive, unjust, and spiritually hollow.

		Hetzel, no doubt taken aback by the frustrated and aggravated tone of Verne’s letter—and perhaps fearful that his highly popular author might be contemplating a change of publishing venue—promptly replied a few days later with a soothing and highly uncharacteristic letter that addresses the very nature of their editorial relationship:

		Hetzel did much more than simply edit Verne’s rough drafts for style and ideology: he actually collaborated in writing them, and his input fundamentally altered the content of these works.
