A very brief eutopia based on Germany being defeated in the war, the air coming under the control of a world authority, the establishment of world law based on a Declaration of Rights (included in the book 49-54), and the adoption of socialism. Some of the countryside has been allowed to return to its natural state and areas have been reforested. Villages have more amenities. Children from the cities will spend much time in the country. The old stately homes have been turned into country clubs and hotels.\ In \“Future Cities\” (96-97), he says that in this essay and \“Uprooted People\” (94-95), he was \“trying to Imagine the face of the world in 1951, if civilisation wins the war\” (92).

The novel presents the dystopia of the contemporary world and the difficult process of creating a eutopia. The eutopia is Wells\&$\#$39;s world state, which is brought into being through something very like his \"open conspiracy\" (see 1928 Wells). Here Wells presents an unusual, deeply flawed man leading the human race towards a good life who also develops dictatorial tendencies, has a mental breakdown, and is murdered.\

Eutopia. Something in the tail of a comet changes all human beings, freeing them from greed, power, and all baser passions. In response, all housing is rebuilt, private property disappears, and human relations are established on a firmer basis. Most of the novel is concerned with the problems of the old society.
