Discuss whether the writer has an optimistic or pessimistic view of the future.
I think the writer has an optimistic view of the future. He was very excited when he traveled to the year AD 3005 and couldn't believe it was true. From this, we can see he is eager to go to the future. Though he was hit by the lack of fresh air, the problem was immediately solved by putting on a mask. And he tells us the transport in the future is convenient. When he Arrived Wang Ping's home, he found there were many trees after the wall moved, and these trees provided the house with much-needed oxygen. Finally he described the automatic equipment in Wang Ping's house. All the above has shown his view of the future.
