![]() ![]() Though the advent of new communication technologies during the last century has made the world ever more connected and sped up the ongoing process of globalisation, we are seemingly not much nearer to Wells’ World State the closest thing to it would be the comparatively weak and ineffective United Nations. Such a state would share one world language (an amalgamation of a dozen different pre-existing ones), one economy, one currency and would be heavily connected by high-speed electric trains. The narrator surmises that for a perfect society to exist, the entire world would have to share one governing body, a World State, if you will. He concedes that for it to function, society would have had to have developed a completely different set of ideals, traditions, ideas and purposes. Firstly, Wells wants the reader to be fully aware he thinks his utopian dream is realistically implausible, but not entirely impossible. ![]()
