Herbert George Wells: an annotated bibliography of his works B16). A long economic slump causes a major war that leaves Europe devastated and threatened by plague. In decades of chaos with much of the world reverting to medieval conditions, pilots and technicians formerly serving in various nations' air-forces maintain a network of functioning air fields. Around this nucleus, technological civilization is rebuilt, with the pilots and other skilled technicians eventually seizing worldwide power and sweeping away the remnants of the old nation states. A benevolent dictatorship is set up, paving the way for world peace by abolishing national divisions, enforcing the English language, promoting scientific learning and outlawing religion. The enlightened world-citizens are able to depose the dictators peacefully, and go on to breed a new race of super-talents, able to maintain a permanent utopia.
