A Modern Utopia

A Modern Utopia is a 1905 novel by H. G. Wells. Because of the complexity and sophistication of its narrative structure, A Modern Utopia has been called ''not so much a modern as a postmodern utopia.'' The novel is best known for its notion that a voluntary order of nobility known as the Samurai could effectively rule a ''kinetic and not static'' world state so as to solve ''the problem of combining progress with political stability''.
