Publisher's Synopsis
A modern Utopia is one of Wells's best proposals for the idea of a World State. Wells leads us to his utopia through an act of imagination, when the narrator and his companion descend from Lucendro Pass (Switzerland) to the duplicate of our physical world, another planet that revolves around another very distant sun, in the depths of space beyond Syrian. "It is not a trip to fantasy, nor a trip to extravagance. It is a majestic attempt to imagine that society that men could create if they used their heads and got to work. The result is the most plausible utopia ever written. " Chad Walsh, From Utopia to Nightmare. "A beautiful Utopia, wonderfully conceived and wonderfully thought out; and it has that scent of limpid air that you also find in News from Nowhere." Van Wyck Brooks, The World of H. G. Wells.
