And only off by 2,333 years. Impressive.

Odoevsky’s sc-fi novel “Year 4338”, written in 1837, remarked on the peculiar habits of corresspondence in the future. You'd think he was later reincarnated as Al Gore.

“Houses are connected by means of magnetic telegraphs that allow people who live far from each other to communicate. . .”

According to the artlicle linked above, "Odoevsky suggested every household would publish a kind of daily journal or newsletter and distribute it among selected acquaintances."

“We received a household journal from the local prime minister, which among other things invited us to his place for a reception,” one of Odoevsky’s characters tells a friend.

“The thing is that many households here publish such journals that replace common correspondence. Such journals usually provide information about the hosts’ good or bad health, family news, different thoughts and comments, small inventions, invitations to receptions.”

And saayyyy, he gets even predicts Dorkafork's new job at INDC Journal.

“The job of publishing such a journal daily or weekly is carried out by the butler. It is done very simply: receiving an order from the masters, he makes a notice of what they tell him, then make copies by camera obscura and sends them to the acquaintances.”

Those cliquey bloggers.
