H.G.Wells was always a writer with a penchant for utopian and dystopian stories, which features again in Men Like Gods, which was published in 1922. In this novel, a group of people who accidentally find themselves transported to a parallel world actually named ‘Utopia’. In this world, the working class have vanished and society is radically different, as well as being very advanced and living up to its name.
Their arrival sparks fears amongst Utopia’s population that they might be a threat to their seemingly idyllic society and all of a sudden this world does not seem quite so perfect anymore. A brilliant read and one you simply have to include in your H.G.Wells bucket list.
