He would probably be very impressed with the scientific progress made since his time & very gratified that much of what was science fiction in his day & his stories (e.g., space travel, particularly the moon landings) are now science fact.

He would probably be somewhat surprised that we hadn't yet blown ourselves to bits. He might also ruefully conclude that his imagined division of the world into the Eloi and the Morlocks was slowly beginning to become a reality. He would be chagrinned to find that for all our technological progress, that we had made so little attempt to correct the ills of society and that we were so near to making our planet uninhabitable because of our neglect.
Jules Verne, on the other hand might be pleasantly surprised that so many of his predicted advances had not only been achieved, but had already been surpassed!

Nothing spectacular. The world was an equally ****** up place in the 19th century. Always was, always will.
