This interesting Wells work is NOT about a utopian society. It's a symbolic message, a higher meaning - it shows the present, in fact, where those who live in the dark cannibalize those who live in the light (i.e. who think clear and in noble terms). In fact, the meaning is that the man of science takes with him Science into the future to create a better society. The meaning of Eloi is "god" - those who live in the light are gods. Wells was a Gov. propagandist; he put forth in symbolic form the planned future. The future society will be all "light" with science as a ruler and guide. Read also Wells' other work: "The Shape Of Things To Come" to have an additional angle to this one work of his.
