This lecture on H.G. Wells The First Men in the Moon is less a study of the work itself than it is an examination of its plot line and characters, and elucidation of the atheist premises of the science fiction drama. I read it not only as an influential work but a characteristic one.
What is fascinating to note is Wells' clear awareness of the corruption of the human nature. But his characteristic solution is that of a eugenicist: population control and conditioning.
