A Hundred Years Hence: The Expectations of an Optimist
by T. Baron Russell
About the author
Thomas Baron Russell was an English author active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Records for his books show a varied career that included fiction such as A Guardian of the Poor and Borlase & Son, as well as Current Americanisms, a dictionary of contemporary words and phrases.
He also wrote speculative fiction. His A Hundred Years Hence: The Expectations of an Optimist looks ahead to the future with a hopeful, idea-driven spirit that still gives modern readers a sense of the period's curiosity about progress.
Russell is a relatively obscure figure today, but his work has remained accessible through public-domain archives and library projects. I could confirm that he is also known as Thomas Baron Russell, though I did not find a suitable verified portrait image to include from the sources I checked.
