It is an interesting point to note that the term ‘credit card’ was first used in a novel – a novel structured around utopia. Looking Backward is a novel of great literary importance. Written by American Novelist, Edward Bellamy, in 1887, the novel tells the story of a young man born in late 19th century America, who falls asleep and wakes up a hundred and thirty years later to find his world completely changed.

On Wednesday, American Airlines got creative and announced a new fee for “Express Seats,” according to a press release. Are these new, fancy seats they’ve installed? Nope — now you just pay extra if you want to sit in one of the first few rows of coach (including the bulkhead seats) on domestic flights.
