HG Wells' novel A Modern Utopia is the subject of this episode. Science fiction writer and academic Adam Roberts joins me to talk about its good ideas, like a UBI, and its bad ones, like eugenics.
Utopian Horizons is a podcast about utopias, real and imaginary. Each episode covers a different utopia, dystopia, utopian thinker, or utopian movement, asking what they can tell us about ourselves, our society, and our future.
