Synopsis
A Modern Utopia is H. G. Wells proposal for social reform was the formation of a world state, a concept that would increasingly preoccupy him throughout the remainder of his life. A Modern Utopia was intended as a hybrid between fiction and 'philosophical discussion'. Like most utopists, he has indicated a series of modifications which in his opinion would increase the aggregate of human happiness. Basically, Wells' idea of a perfect world would be if everyone were able to live a happy life. This book is written with an intimate knowledge of former ideal commonwealths and is a conscious attempt to describe a utopia that is not utopian. (Summary by Wikipedia)Listen To Streaming Audio
