The Future in America: A Search After Realities is a 1906 travel essay by H. G. Wells recounting his impressions from the first of half a dozen visits he would make to the United States. The book consists of fifteen chapters and a concluding ‘envoy’.
Wells describes the United States as ‘a great and energetic English-speaking population strewn across a continent so vast as to make it seem small and thin . . . caught by the upward sweep of that great increase of knowledge that is everywhere enlarging the power and scope of human effort, exhilarated by it, and active and hopeful beyond any population the world has ever seen’ engaged in ‘a universal commercial competition that must, in the end, if it is not modified, divide them into two permanent classes of rich and poor.’
