A Modern Utopia

H. G. Wells

"For a Utopia to be credible, it must be kinetic—not a static state, but a hopeful stage in an infinite development."

Unlike the rigid, stagnant utopias of the past, H.G. Wells presents a "Kinetic Utopia"—a living, breathing world located on a planet identical to Earth but light-years ahead in social and technological evolution. Following two travelers who find themselves transported to this parallel world, Wells explores a global civilization governed by a World State, where poverty is abolished, technology serves humanity, and a voluntary nobility known as the "Samurai" maintains the moral fiber of the race. This is a brilliant exploration of how a planet-wide society could balance individual liberty with the common good.

The "Samurai" Class: The most enduring concept of the novel is the Samurai—a voluntary order of men and women who follow a strict Rule of life to qualify for leadership. They are not a hereditary caste but an intellectual and moral meritocracy. Wells uses this concept to solve the age-old problem of governance: how to ensure that those in power are disciplined, selfless, and dedicated to the progress of the species.

A World of Motion: Wells argues that a modern utopia cannot be a walled city; it must encompass the entire globe. In this world, every citizen is tracked by a universal indexing system (a startlingly prophetic vision of modern data), ensuring that while people are free to travel and change professions, the state can provide for their needs and maintain social stability. It is a world where the "Five Freedoms" are guaranteed, and the focus of human life shifts from survival to self-actualization.

Rediscover the dream of a better world. Purchase "A Modern Utopia" today and explore the frontiers of human possibility.

Gender Explained - A New...

PhD Diane Ehrensaft, PsyD...

A Finalist for the 2025 Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ+ Nonfiction 
 
Gender is everywhere. Politicians argue over it, educational systems struggle to define it, and our friends, neighbors, and children explore it. More than ever before, young people are questioning their gender identities and redefining the role of gender in their lives. How should our society―and we as individuals (parents, teachers, friends)―respond? 
 
In Gender Explained, Diane Ehrensaft, PhD, and Michelle Jurkiewicz, PsyD, separate medical fact from fear-mongering falsehoods and answer these questions: What should parents do when their child starts experiencing gender dysphoria? Which sports teams should transgender youth play on? How should schools teach young people about gender? And most important: What is gender-affirming care, and when should an individual have access to it? 
 
With clear, expert guidance, this book is a safeguard against political vitriol, and it offers urgent protection for those among us who are transgender and/or nonbinary. Far more than an introduction to gender creativity, it is an invitation to develop compassion for everyone along the gender continuum.
