Capa do H. G. Wells: The Salvaging of Civilization (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

The First World War left the always forward-looking Wells obsessed with how to prevent another such conflict. This 1921 prescription for global peace includes technology, education, world government, revised sexual mores, and even an anthology to substitute for the Bible as solutions for reining in humankind’s dark impulses.

Sobre o autor

H. G. Wells (1866–1946), is often called the “Father of Science Fiction.” While science fiction was his most popular genre, Wells also wrote on history, politics, and made social commentary. His “scientific romances” speculated about the future, scientific advancements, and outer space. His works include The Time Machine, and The War of the Worlds.
