Description

Herbert Wells, known for works of science fiction and social prose, became a pioneer of futurism—an effort to identify the key vectors of mankind’s development. In the novel “Modern Utopia,” he explores the prospects of the first decades of the twentieth century, asking important questions about Europe’s future: what conflicts will be ahead, how scientific and technical progress will affect society, where the line lies between beauty and practicality, and what sacrifices society will have to make for the sake of the common good.
