Descriere H. G. Wells Non-Fiction TRIO v.1: Anticipations, The Open Conspiracy, The New World Order - H. G. Wells

\nH. G. Wells, a prolific science fiction writer, also wrote many non-fiction works that may be found interesting and/or pertinent for our current times. Could world events be following a script?Volume 1 of this TRIO contains: Anticipations - First serialized in The North American Review, June 1901 with the subtitle: An Experiment in ProphecyThe Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution was published in 1928 by H. G. Wells, when he was 62 years old. It was revised and expanded in 1930 with the additional subtitle A Second Version of This Faith of a Modern Man Made More Explicit and Plain. In 1931 a further revised edition appeared titled What Are We to To Do With Our Lives? The final version appeared in 1933 under its original title. Many of its ideas are anticipated in Wells's 1926 novel The World of William Clissold.The book is, in Wells's words, a scheme to thrust forward and establish a human control over the destinies of life and liberate it from its present dangers, uncertainties and miseries. It proposes that largely as the result of scientific progress, a common vision of a world politically, socially and economically unified is emerging among educated and influential people, and that this can be the basis of a world revolution aiming at universal peace, welfare and happy activity that can result in the establishment of a world commonweal. This is to be achieved by drawing together a proportion of all or nearly all the functional classes in contemporary communities in order to weave the beginnings of a world community out of their selection. This will ultimately be a world religion. - WikipediaTHE OPEN CONSPIRACY - TABLE OF CONTENTSIntroductionChapter 1> The Present Crisis in Human AffairsChapter 2> The Idea of the Open ConspiracyChapter 3> We Have to Clear and Clean Up Our MindsChapter 4> The Revolution in EducationChapter 5> Religion in the New WorldChapter 6> Modern Religion is ObjectiveChapter 7> What Mankind Has to DoChapter 8> Broad Characteristics Of a Scientific World CommonwealChapter 9> No Stable Utopia Is Now ConceivableChapter 10> The open conspiracy is not to be thought of as a single organization; it is a conception of life out of which efforts, organizations, and new orientations will ariseChapter 11> Forces and Resistances in the Great Modern Communities Now Prevalent, Which Are Antagonistic to The Open Conspiracy.
