Resumen: "Portland, Oregon, A.D. 1999, and Other Sketches" by J. W. Hayes is a collection of speculative fiction written in the early 20th century. The book examines a futuristic vision of Portland, Oregon, with a blend of prophecy and social commentary, all narrated through the voice of a remarkable elderly woman who recounts her life experiences and burgeoning visions of the future. The sketches present a vivid portrayal of anticipated technological and societal advancements that reflect the author's aspirations for a better world. The opening of the work introduces readers to an intriguing character: a bright and intelligent woman who, at 86 years old, recalls her life from the past and visions of the future. Through her reminiscing, she shares tales of her journey from Virginia to Oregon and begins to unveil prophecies about life in Portland in the year 1999. As she describes extraordinary inventions like aerial transportation, revolutionary societal changes, and an optimistic picture of the city's transformation, the reader is invited to explore a future where progress and harmony abound. This intriguing blend of reflection and futurism sets the stage for the subsequent sketches, each exploring different aspects of societal evolution in a uniquely speculative context.
