This is a cool book, I really think the idea behind it is very interesting. What will happen to the world when humanity completely bans out all evil things - if there is nothing to fight anymore: people will get dumb, because it is the fight against nature that makes humanity intelligent, it is the challenge that makes us better. And if the challenge falls away, we are simply dumb and happy blobs that like flowers.

This was a surprisingly fun little read. Definitely going to read more from Wells.
