Early science fiction. Will terrorists get their hands on a weapon of mass destruction? Is there life on Mars? Does punishing criminals do any good? If we could travel into the future, what would we see? Is marriage passé? Will humans be supplanted by machines? Will America collapse?

All these questions were raised in the Victorian age and are addressed in this volume.
