Huxley had reviewed favorably Wells’s science fiction in the early 1920s, appreciative of the fact that Wells dealt with the implications of the new biology in his books. The Wellsian futurism often dealt with the long-range implications of the new biology for human destiny. Huxley wrote that he believed Wells attempted “genuine” utopias as opposed to satirical utopias. By “genuine utopias,” Huxley seemed to imply future visions that were true and sincere and that might be possible to achieve. Wells himself had insisted that his utopias not be static, but instead forward moving. They were to represent a hopeful stage in a long ascent of stages. In her study of utopian thinking, political scientist Elisabeth Hansot noted a marked difference between a classic and a modern utopia; unlike classical utopias, modern utopias had become time-oriented and viewed change as desirable. To both Wells and Huxley, rather than being final destinations, a utopia of the modern age was dynamic and with unlimited possibilities for change and progress.
