The answer is "year 2000".


Looking Backward is the tale of Julian West, a rich youthful Bostonian who enters a subliminal specialist's daze on May 30, 1887, and awakens 113 years, three months, and after eleven days. Dr. Leete, an expressive resident of the new century, welcomes him and clarifies, in the first of numerous jumps of rationale required by the reader, that the entrancing has superbly protected West's body. He hasn't matured 60 minutes; Boston, be that as it may, has changed about to the point of being unrecognizable. At the point when West goes outside, he sees an idyll of tree-lined roads and lofty open structures whose exclusive recognizable highlights are the Charles River and the islands of the harbor, shining through air clear of coal smoke.
