About this listen

 In the year 2050, Wolfgang embarks on an extraordinary journey to the socialist city of New York, traveling through a pneumatic tube that glides beneath the ocean. He writes to his friend Hannevig, filled with enthusiasm as he describes the wonders of this vast metropolis. With an eye on the implications of true gender equality and liberation from traditional work, Wolfgang paints a vivid picture of a society striving for utopia. However, the reality for the citizens of New York is far from ideal, leading to unexpected consequences.
