The Utopia of a modern dreamer must needs differ in one fundamental aspect from the Nowheres and Utopias men planned before Darwin quickened the thought of the world Those were all perfect and static States a balance of happiness won for ever against the forces of unrest and disorder that inhere in things One beheld a healthy and simple generation enjoying the fruits of the earth in an atmosphere of virtue and happiness to be followed by other virtuous happy and entirely similar generations until the Gods grew weary Change and development were dammed back by invincible dams for ever But the Modern Utopia must be not static but kinetic must shape not as a permanent state but as a hopeful stage leading to a long ascent of stages Nowadays we do not resist and overcome the great stream of things but rather float upon it We build now not citadels but ships of state For one ordered arrangement of citizens rejoicing in an equality of happiness safe and assured to them and their children for ever we have to plan a flexible common compromise in which a perpetually novel succession of individualities may converge most effectually upon a comprehensive onward development That is the first most generalised difference between a Utopia based upon modern conceptions and all the Utopias that were written in the former time

This book is in all probability the last of a series of writinldquo writings of which disregarding certain earlier disconnected essays my gs Anticipations was the beginning Originally I intended AnticiAnticipations Anticipations to be my sole digression from my art or trade or what pations you will of an imaginative writer I wrote that book in order to clear up the muddle in my own mind about innumerable social and political questions questions I could not keep out of my work which it distressed me to touch upon in a stupid haphawork haphazard way and which no one so far as I knew had handled in a zard manner to satisfy my needs But Anticipations did not achieve its end I have a slow constructive hesitating sort of mind and when I emerged from that undertaking I found I had still most of my questions to state and solve In Mankind in the Making therefore I tried to review the social organisation in a different way to consider it as an educational process instead of dealing with it as a thing with a future history and if I made this second book even less satisfactory from a literary standpoint than the former and this is my opinion I blundered I think more edifformer edifyingly at least from the point of view of my own instruction
