Скачать или смотреть Wells' Vision: A Modern Utopia

Journey with H.G. Wells, the father of science fiction, as he turns his insightful gaze from future predictions to social blueprinting in "A Modern Utopia."

This is not a simple fantasy of a perfect society. Instead, Wells presents a rigorous, philosophical thought experiment: what would a truly global and progressive world state look like? He tackles the practicalities of economics, the complexities of personal freedom, the role of women, and the idea of a ruling class of enlightened volunteers he calls the "Samurai."

Written as a hybrid of fiction and philosophical discussion, the book follows two travelers who accidentally stumble upon a parallel Earth that is identical to our own in every way—except that it has managed to organize itself into a single, world-wide Utopian state.

A foundational text of socio-political science fiction, "A Modern Utopia" is a fascinating and challenging listen for anyone interested in philosophy, political science, and the enduring quest to build a better world.
