What to expect
Writing this novel in 1923, H. G. Wells called it a “scientific fantasy.” He featured a utopia located in a parallel universe. “The grabbers and fighters, the persecutors and patriots, the lynchers and boycotters and all the riff-raff of short-sighted human violence, crowded on to final defeat. Even in their lives they know no happiness, they drive from excitement to excitement and from gratification to exhaustion. Their enterprises and successes, their wars and glories, flare and pass. Only the true thing grows, the truth, the clear idea, year by year and age by age, slowly and invincibly as a diamond grows amidst the darkness and pressures of the earth.” Enjoy H. G. Wells writing 100 years later and find the ideas still relevant!
