Men Like Gods by H. G. Wells

A Tale of the Near Future

A group of visitors from Earth are swept into a parallel world where a highly advanced, scientifically managed society practices radical individual freedom, minimal coercion, and continual social experiment; confronted with a culture that rejects centralized government, religious dogma, and nationalist impulses, the newcomers witness and participate in debates about morality, governance, and scientific responsibility as one visitor attempts to import old-world politics and religion, forcing a clash between authoritarian impulses and the host society’s ideals and leaving the travelers transformed by the encounter.
