"With the Night Mail: A Story of 2000 A.D." by Rudyard Kipling is a science fiction novella published in 1905. Set in the early 21st century, the story follows a postal worker on a night airship run to Quebec aboard Postal Packet 162. The crew encounters a failing vessel, navigates a violent storm, and witnesses a dramatic rescue operation—all under the watchful coordination of the Aerial Board of Control, a supranational organization managing global airship traffic. This pioneering tale remarkably anticipated modern air-traffic control and influenced generations of science fiction writers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
