Yes I was surprised Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas did not make it to this list. But then most people have a very narrow view of what sci-fi is, boiling it down to cyborgs and space.
…as a kid, I imagine I would be relating differently to all of these very adult concerns. One of the best gifts I ever got was when my dad plopped down a big box full of old classical adventure novels (Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, King Solomon's Mines, Captains Courageous, Three Musketeers, Count of Monte Cristo type of stuff) and I devoured all of them over the course of the next year or so. I'm sure I would appreciate a lot…
…diesel. Most of these reactions at industrial scale are more than 50 years old but nobody bothered to actually implement it (even though a hint about sodium cells for electricity generation is present in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas: A World Tour Underwater" by Jules Verne already) instead of the more complex approaches like e.g. synthetic gasoline.

Nemo was originally written as a Polish aristocrat. When you consider that, all aspects of his description in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas (1870) make sense. By the time Verne wrote The Mysterious Island (1875), his ire had become more directed toward the British rather than the Russian empire, so he changed Nemo to be an Indian prince.
It's a great idea, just one suggestion: would it be possible to choose the language of the novels we decide to read? For example, I am French, so I would rather read _The Count of Monte Christo_, _Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas_ or _Madame Bovary_ in their original versions.
I’ve listened to From the Earth to the Moon and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, and between the lists of things that mean nothing to me[0] and the humans being unrealistic[1], I have to assume something was lost in the translation, because they… are just not any good. [0] 10 kinds…
是啊，我很惊讶《海底两万里》居然没上榜。不过大多数人对科幻的理解都很狭隘，觉得无非就是半机械人和太空那一套。

……小时候看的话，我想我对这些非常成人的担忧感受会大不一样。我收过最好的礼物之一，就是我爸嘭地一声放下一大箱老派经典冒险小说（《海底两万里》、《所罗门王的宝藏》、《怒海双雄》、《三剑客》、《基督山伯爵》这类），在接下来的一年左右时间里我全给狼吞虎咽看完了。我相信自己肯定能体会到很多……

……柴油。工业规模上的这些反应大多已经有50多年历史了，但没人费心去真正落地（尽管儒勒·凡尔纳在《海底两万里：环游水下世界》里就已经提到了用钠电池发电），反而去搞诸如合成汽油这种更复杂的路子。你可以去看看关于这些想法的组织页面 https://orgpad.com/s/energiewende…

尼莫最初在设定里是个波兰贵族。考虑到这一点，《海底两万里》（1870年）里对他的所有描写就都讲得通了。等凡尔纳写《神秘岛》（1875年）时，他的怒火更多地转向了英国而不是俄罗斯帝国，所以他把尼莫改成了印度王子。

这是个极好的主意，就提一个小建议：我们能自己选想读的小说的语言版本吗？比如我是法国人，所以我更想读原版的《基督山伯爵》、《海底两万里》或者《包法利夫人》。

我听了《从地球到月球》和《海底两万里》，在一堆对我毫无意义的事物清单[0]和极其虚假的人物设定[1]之间，我只能认为翻译把原作给毁了，因为它们……真的很难看。[0] 10种……
