Exploring the intersection of early twentieth-century science and imagination, the book delves into how figures like Hugo de Vries inspired diverse communities, including writers and activists, to envision rapid evolution. This era birthed the concept of "biotopia," influencing renowned authors such as H.G. Wells and Aldous Huxley, who explored both utopian and dystopian biological futures. By recovering these ideas, the narrative highlights their impact on modern perceptions of life sciences and the lessons they offer for contemporary society.
