> Forgive me if I am reading too much into this, but the tagline for this article feels weird to me. It feels weird because it implies that the "worlds" of Wells, Huxley, and Orwell were without flaw.

Quite. Orwell was shot trying to save free Spain from a fascist dictatorship tacitly supported by the Western powers, lived through WW II, and before the rise of the modern welfare state experienced the poverty of being a waiter in Paris, and a tramp in England.
