"other than that, Mrs. Lincoln..."
Since you brought it up, I'm curious whether you were being totally facetious, or whether in some way the The Time Machine seems utopian to you. There's an implication of a "flowering" of civilization in the near future, but offset by the dark far future. Maybe this suggests a strict definition of a utopian story as one in which the utopia continues into the indefinite future (past The End), and not one in which the utopia eventually falls.
