Editing Last and First Men (section)

== In popular culture ==
Characters discuss the novel in [[H. G. Wells]]' ''[[Star Begotten]]''.

The novel appears in the computer game ''[[Deus Ex (video game)|Deus Ex]]'' as a reference when a corporation in the game allegedly tries to develop the Second Men in the series, but also in a much broader aspect as the game deals with [[genetic engineering]], the next phase of [[evolution]] and [[Human enhancement|human augmentations]]. Also similar to the book are the options presented to the player as to where human kind will go next: a fall back into an almost savage state of humanity, a keeping of the status quo or an extreme progression with the danger of sacrificing basic rights.
