The Last American by John Ames Mitchell
"The Last American" by John Ames Mitchell is a novel published in 1889. Set in 2951, it follows Persian explorer Khan-Li who rediscovers a long-abandoned America, devastated by catastrophic climate change centuries earlier. Through the explorers' journals, Mitchell presents a satirical commentary on late 19th-century American society, seen through foreign eyes examining ruins and artifacts. The Persians piece together a civilization's rise and fall, finding both grandeur and troubling social developments in
America's remnants. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
