H. G. Wells – TV Tropes
In his later life, he turned more toward what he thought society should be like; fictional Utopias and Dystopias and nonfiction books on socialist thought alike. Though Wells thought of these works as more important, it’s his early stuff that’s thought of as classic, at least in part because it is generally better written. G. K. Chesterton compared him to Esau, saying that just as the latter had sold his birthright for a mess of pottage, so Wells traded his talent for a pot of message (although he was a fine one to talk). For clarity, Wells did identify his political views as socialist, but it was a distinctly non-Marxist socialism he advocated, and hoped would prevent the violence destruction that he believed class conflict would otherwise lead to without a technologically and socially progressive international movement… ~ H. G. Wells – TV Tropes
