https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eloi  The Eloi are herded, bred and maintained by the Morlocks as a food source, much like cows or pigs are today.  Morlock. Moloch. Eloi...Elohim? (edit: yup, possibly https://www.gotquestions.org/meaning-of-Elohim.html)  In the 1960 film version of the book, the Eloi are depicted as identical to modern humans but small, blond, and blue-eyed.  Uh, Time Machine, where are you going with this.  In Dan Simmons' Ilium novel, "Eloi" is a nickname for the lazy, uneducated, and uncultured descendants of the human race after the post-humans have left Earth. The name is a reference to Wells' Eloi. Old-style humans and post-humans rule in Simmons' novel, with the Eloi being kept in "zoos" in restricted areas on Earth. The Eloi are technically adept but don't understand the technology; they regress and unlearn millennia of culture, thought and reason, until they are satisfied with the pleasure of merely existing.  Welp.
