This was Jules Verne's look 1,000 years in to the future, although it may have been written by his son, Michael.

This short little book is full of neat future stuff. Advertisements are projected on clouds, a person can communicate via phototelegrams to the inhabitants of Mars and Venus (but nobody is quite sure of what is living on Jupiter, we can't understand their signals), and many other fun forward-looking ideas which Verne was known for.
