Plot Synopsis (courtesy of D. Kytasaari - http://epguides.com/djk/JulesVerne/works.shtml) 
A day in the life of journalist Francis Bennett in 2889 is related. 
NOTE: This story was written by Michel Verne (Verne's son)
Jules Verne later modified it and it was published in 1890 as La journée d'un journaliste américain en 2890 with the title changed so the date of publication would be 1000 years before the date of the story..
