In 1872, Jules Verne published a novel that, more than 140 years after its initial release, remains widely known and appreciated for its evocative power: Around the World in Eighty Days. The story follows the adventures of Phileas Fogg, a wealthy London gentleman of habitual, sedentary, and reserved character. On October 2, 1872, Fogg leaves his residence on Saville Row and heads to the Reform Club. As usual, at half past eleven he reaches the club premises after taking exactly 575 steps.
