    Robida's work is so incredible, it puts a lot of speculative fiction authors to shame, and that's before even accounting for his brilliant illustrations.
    I've read a few chapters of the auto-translated versions on Project Gutenberg, but I need to pick up the real translated book editions sometime. The one chapter I remember offhand is the exploration of "leaky pipes" in the telephonoscope distribution backend, the leaks causing widespread broadcast chaos.
    It's also clear that Studio Ghibli mined him as a resource for Howl's Moving Castle - not just the aerial warfare craft, but the mashed up European architectural styles of the cityscapes as well.

    It has always amazed me how close Verne and those like him got considering the level of technology at the time

    My favourite version of retro-futurism, in my opinion. I would like to live it.

    What a wonderful episode and certainly a subject that I've found both fascinating and most endearing.
    I curated the world's first Steampunk museum exhibition @ The Museum of the History of Science, Oxford in 2009. (The public's interest in Victorian Futurism was so great that it became the most highly attended exhibit in the museum's history.)
    Here, your episode clearly illustrates Victorian speculation about the "future", its possibilities and it's absurdly impractical technologies. It also shows how difficult it truly is to predict future tech as we never see past our own current technologies.
    In Robida's illustrations we clearly see the the comic irony of placing the 'tech of the day' alongside the speculated tech of tomorrow. A fools errand to be sure! A perfect example is that fantastic floating airship sporting a large "A-OOGAH" horn on the hood of craft. (@ 00:52 )
