‘What is Coming? A Forecast of Things after the War’ is a non-fiction work written by H.G. Wells, first published in 1916 during World War I. In this book, Wells attempts to predict the future course of history and society in the aftermath of the war.
As the title suggests, ‘What is Coming?’ is a speculative work that offers Wells’s insights and predictions about the consequences of the war and the challenges facing humanity in the years to come. Wells analyzes the social, political, and economic factors that he believes will shape the post-war world and offers his opinions on how these developments may unfold.
The book covers a wide range of topics, including the role of technology in shaping society, the prospects for international cooperation and peace, and the potential for social and political reform. Wells also explores the impact of the war on individual nations and regions, as well as its long-term effects on global politics and economics.
‘What is Coming?’ reflects Wells’s concerns about the direction of human civilization and his hopes for a more just and equitable future. While some of his predictions may seem dated or speculative by contemporary standards, the book remains a valuable historical document that sheds light on the mindset of intellectuals and commentators during World War I and the early 20th century.
Overall, ‘What is Coming?’ is a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges and opportunities facing humanity in the aftermath of war and a testament to Wells’s enduring interest in the fate of the human race.
