A Modern Utopia

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of the Swiss Alps, two friends stumble upon a portal to a parallel planet resembling Earth but governed by a strict world government of 'Samurai.' This society boasts advanced technology, high-speed transport, and electric cities, ensuring security and freedom from labor. H. G. Wells critiques traditional static Utopias and instead envisions a 'kinetic' Utopia, where ongoing scientific progress prevents societal stagnation. The themes resonate with contemporary discussions on globalization and its potential solutions for modern challenges.
