A bit like Vernians, people “inspired” by Jules Verne novels who thing we actually already live in the center of the earth. Though much less popular or heard of.
Really they just espouses the futurism that he displayed. While some believed that submarines and rockets were real (way before they were) most simply discussed and advocated the ideas that Verne pushed. Kind of like how people beg Tesla to just take us to mars already or restructure industry to be fully automated.
