Yeezus!

Just a note on Morlocks for those not acquainted with H.G. Wells — in “The Time Machine” a traveler to a distant, post-apocalyptic future encounters a seeming Eden populated by Eloi, a race of almost infantile adult humans who are invisibly provided for. They have no curiosity about anything, are barely aware of anyone outside themeselves; they just sun, play and eat the food that appears twice daily. In this case provision is not by a Deity but by the technology-enhanced subterranean, mutated half of humanity who use the Eloi as entrees. Yes, this is a cautionary tale already being acted out if not in actual cannibalism certainly in other types of predation, ironically on the technologically-induced near-catatonic themselves.
