The Shape of Things to Come

The Shape of Things to Come | H.G. Wells

5 posts | 2 read | 5 to read

When Dr Philip Raven, an intellectual working for the League of Nations, dies in 1930 he leaves behind a powerful legacy - an unpublished 'dream book'. Inspired by visions he has experienced for many years, it appears to be a book written far into the future: a history of humanity from the date of his death up to 2105. The Shape of Things to Come provides this 'history of the future', an account that was in some ways remarkably prescient - predicting climatic disaster and sweeping cultural changes, including a Second World War, the rise of chemical warfare, and political instabilities in the Middle East.

Still working on Book 1 in my audio book. Granted this is a pice of fiction, but some of Wells‘s “predictions” were spot on.
