I think maybe HG Wells might of been onto something there with the Morlocks and Eloi. He was the guy who literally put "The Time Machine" into the popular lexicon and if you ever read any of his other books the guy was predicting shit that no one else at the time did or eve conceptualize.

Shit if I remember right the father of rocketry and one of the first real nuclear scientists said they got their ideas from his writings.
