capitalism. [JC]

SINCLAIR, UPTON (BEALL)
(1878-1968) US writer known primarily for his work outside the sf field,
particularly for his novels of social criticism, including The Jungle (1905).
His most notable sf work is the comedy The Millennium: A Comedy of the Year 2000
(1914 Appeal to Reason; in 3 vols 1924), based on a play, in which the survivors
of a DISASTER recapitulate the economic stages described by the Marxist theory
of history.

сатирический роман (по одноим. пьесе) "Тысячелетие: комедия 2000 года" [The
Millenium: A Comedy of the Year 2000] (1914 - "Взывая к рассудку"; 1924; рус.
1925 - "...И воцарились на тысячу лет"), представляющий собой лит. комментарий к
основам марксистской экономики (см. Коммунизм, Социализм), развернутый на фоне

SMITH, GARRET
(?1876-1954) US journalist and newspaper editor who was active with sf
stories in magazines like The Argosy, where several novels appeared. [...] Of
more interest are "On the Brink of 2000" (1910 Argosy) [...]

TIME TRAVEL
Even the pulp writers remained relatively modest in their time-jaunting
until the 1920s, although William Wallace COOK's A Round Trip to the Year 2000
(1903 Argosy; 1925) deals sarcastically with the accumulation of time-travellers
to be expected in the magical millennial year.

VIERECK, GEORGE S(YLVESTER)
(1884-1962) German-born US writer, well known between the Wars as an
apologist for defeated Germany, as in The Kaiser on Trial (1937), though his
views on Hitler were considerably more guarded. [...]

VOGEL, [Sir] JULIUS
(1835-1899) UK politician who spent much of his professional life in NEW
ZEALAND and whose sf novel, Anno Domini 2000, or Woman's Destiny (1889), set
partly in New Zealand and Australia, treats the dawning 21st century as both
benignly prosperous and much obsessed with matters of royalty. The current
British Emperor causes much fuss in the USA when he refuses to approve any
change in the succession laws which would permit a female to succeed to the
throne. But after a war all ends well, with various women achieving their
destiny in a series of marriages. [JC]
