Summary

What if the world could be remade without its flaws?
In A Modern Utopia, H. G. Wells invites readers on an extraordinary intellectual adventure to a parallel Earth—one that has been reshaped into a rational, equitable, and harmonious society. Guided by two travelers who find themselves in this alternative world, we witness a society governed by a highly educated elite, the Samurai, who uphold the principles of progress, fairness, and reason.

First published in 1905, this novel blends imaginative storytelling with bold social theory, offering both a critique of existing political systems and a visionary blueprint for a better future. With its fascinating mix of philosophy, travel narrative, and speculative world-building, A Modern Utopia remains one of Wells' most thought-provoking works.

"Wells' bold vision challenges us to rethink the possibilities for humanity."
– The Guardian

"A fascinating fusion of fiction and political philosophy."
– The New York Times

    A family brutally attacked in their own home. One survivor. A troubled female detective who must uncover the truth. 
     
    The call comes through on DI Jemima Huxley’s day off. A family of five brutally attacked in their own home. Bradley and Sally Rathbone and their teenage niece and nephew are dead. Only fourteen-year-old Millie survives, found in a broken heap at the bottom of the stairs. 
     
    It’s an unlikely crime scene: a comfortable five-bedroom property in one of Cardiff’s most exclusive suburbs. Jemima quickly deduces this was no random burglary gone wrong. These killings were vicious, personal — and carefully planned. But why would someone target an ordinary family going about their everyday business?

    And could they be waiting to strike again . . . ?
