doomsmanSo, gang, do you think the meaner regions of the New York corporate world already match conditions in The Doomsman, a 1905 novel by Van Tassel Sutphen? As blurbed at Manybooks.net:

“The state of civilization in 2015 New York will closely resemble that of England in the early days of Saxon settlement—primitive people will dwell sparsely in patriarchal stockades and will fight and hunt with bow and arrow.”

Other Sutphen works: The Gates of Chance and some Harper Magazine items—subscribers only.

(Spotted via Boing Boing. Art lightened up a bit to help you better appreciate the sights of 2015 New York.)
