Books like The millennium by Upton Sinclair


In 1907, Upton Sinclair imagined the year 2000 as the pinnacle of capitalism, culminating in the construction of the Pleasure Palace, a 100‑story‑high tower in New York City’s Central Park. During its grand opening, a radiumite accident detonates, causing a global killer that leaves only eleven people alive—survivors confined to the palace’s interiors. The novel follows those survivors as they attempt to rebuild civilization, first in an ambitious capitalist experiment, then repeatedly fail, and ultimately pursue a utopian vision anchored in the cooperative ideals of Sinclair’s “Cooperative Commonwealth,” located on a lush estate in the Pocantico Hills above the Hudson River.
