  • A Modern Utopia by H.G Wells and a small history lesson

    I am introducing H.G.Wells "A Modern Utopia" written in 1905 to you. A Utopia which includes progress and inventions, which has a government of Samurai who are volunteers. The samurai follow strict rules and are not allowed to be rich. There is money in that Utopia, but whoever has money doesn't have more power than other citizens. A world without borders, no fences or unclimbable walls. It's a world state of all races and cultures. Travel is essential and work kept to a minimum, as most toilsome work is mechanical.

    Inspired by a homeless man, I am starting this Podcast. I've been reading Utopian Novels for quite sometime now and this talk is about he novels which impressed me the most so far. As I feel we are living in a society which is very unhappy at the moment with its governments, I try to inspire new ways of thinking and to create a better future for ourselves. I am talking about two Utopian Novels both written at the end of the 19th century. News from Nowhere by William Morris and Edward Bellamy Looking Backward 1989-2000.
