What is Coming A Forecast of Things After the War by H.G. Wells

Written during World War I, this speculative essay offers a vision of what the world might look like after the conflict ends. It explores the future of politics, social structures, gender roles, and global cooperation. The work is part prediction, part manifesto, with strong calls for scientific progress and rational governance. The “plot” unfolds as a structured argument rather than a narrative. It’s a revealing glimpse into early 20th-century hopes and anxieties about rebuilding society.
