Uh, it could have had something to do with putting bread on the table of a writer named Herbert George Wells, back in 1894. Wells was paid the princely sum of 100 pounds to write it in serial form for the New Review. His inspiration was political, not spiritual. Wells was an avid socialist, and stated clearly that his vision of the future was what he saw as the inevitable outcome of class warfare within the capitalistic system. He also set his tale of the Eloi and the Morlocks in A.D. 802,701, so it was nothing he foresaw happening anytime soon. But, as with any well-told tale, the reader can project whatever mythology he wants onto it.
