H. G. Wells 
Anticipations – Of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress upon Human life and Thought [EPUB ebook] 

Supporto

First published in 1904, ‘Anticipations’ is an attempt by H. G. Wells in 1901 to make predictions about the future, especially concerning technological and scientific progress. It offers an interesting look at the technological achievements of the 20th century, with Wells reflecting on some of the less attractive characteristics of a world we have grown beyond, as well as offering a keen insight into social dynamics and the progress it directs. ‘Anticipations’ unsurprisingly presents a fascinating medley of accurate predictions – cars & buses, aerial wartime combat, etc. – and not so accurate ones – submarines being fundamentally flawed. This volume is highly recommended for fans of Wells’ seminal work and readers with an interest in the early twentieth century. Herbert George Wells (1866 – 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as ‘The Time Machine’ (1895), ‘The Invisible Man’ (1897), and ‘The War of the Worlds’ (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
