Biography

Jules Bois was born in Marseille. He wrote Le Satanisme et la Magie (Satanism and Magic) and was a noted friend of McGregor Mathers, the founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

In a 1909 article for The New York Times,^[2] Bois successfully predicted the rise of suburbia, the onset of gender equality and technical innovations such as a flying bicycle (though he overestimated its success).^[3]

He died in New York.
