HG Wells
The idea he championed the most vociferously was that of a World State, a global technocratic society without national boundaries. He was also clear that racial purity was a dangerous nonsense as ‘all races are more or less mixed’.
I have taken liberties with the reputations of the Nietzsche’s, Friedrich in particular, as he reportedly never had a son, and certainly not one who was involved in the First World War. The story of Germania, though, is very true, and is brilliantly told by Ben Macintyre in ‘Forgotten Fatherland’
