H. 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 2 of this Trio contains: World Brain - Essays and addresses written during 1936-38. Wells vision of a new, free, synthetic, authoritative, permanent World Encyclopaedia that could help world citizens make the best use of universal information resources and make the best contribution to world peace. Socialism and the Family - Two papers written in 1906, detailing the attitude of Modem Socialism to family life. Washington, the Riddle/Hope of Peace - These Twenty-Nine essays were published throughout 1922 as Wells observations during his visit to Washington, DC. In spite of an awareness of possible world catastrophe that underlay much of his earlier writings and flared up again in old age, H. G. Wells was regarded as the chief literary spokesman of the liberal optimism that preceded World War I. No other writer has caught so vividly the energy of this period, its adventurousness, its feeling of release from the conventions of Victorian thought and propriety. Wells's influence was enormous, both on his own generation and on that which immediately followed it. None of his contemporaries did more to encourage revolt against Christian tenets and accepted codes of behaviour, especially as regards sex, in which, both in his books and in his personal life, he was a persistent advocate of an almost complete freedom. Though in many ways hasty, ill-tempered, and contradictory, Wells was undeviating and fearless in his efforts for social equality, world peace, and what he considered to be the future good of humanity.

H. 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? TRIO Volume 2 contains: The Fate of Man -originally published 1939 "I forget when it was I began to realize that the world as it had been presented to me was not a trustworthy picture of reality, that in effect I was being lied to about life. I began doubting quite early in life. I knew the world was round because everybody told me so. If they had told me the world was cone-shaped or flat, I should have known that with equal conviction-and it was only years afterwards that I realized how difficult it is to prove that the world is a globe. Plainly, it is high time we looked more closely into the causes of these disconcerting frustrations of our recent large, bright anticipations of a world of plenty and expansion. What is the real position of Homo sapiens in relation to his environment? Has he the mastery we assumed he had, or did we make a profound miscalculation of his outlook? Have we been indulging in hopeful assumptions rather than facing the realities of his case?" CONTENTS: INTRODUCTION Preliminary Statement Biology Invades History How Species Survive History Becomes Ecology Union Now? What Is Democracy? Where Is Democracy? What Man Has To Learn Sample Of A Generation Estimating Hope Survey Of Existing Forces The Jewish Influence Christendom What Is Protestantism? The Nazi Religion Totalitarianism The British Oligarchy Shintoism The Chinese Outlook Subject Peoples Communism And Russia American Mentality Three Factors In Everyone Summary Impossibility Of Utopianism Decadent World Notes New Worlds for Old -originally published 1908 Wells advocates the taking over by the government of all public utilities, the heavy taxation of large fortunes, the establishment of a minimum wage, and the assumption by the state of full responsibility for the care of children, including education, and vocational training, for the support of expectant mothers, and aged persons, for attendance upon the sick. Yet he would not do away with the family or with private property, and he believes that the advantages of both these institutions would be much more widely and equally distributed under the system that he proposes than at present... CONTENTS: Introductory Remarks The Good Will in Man The Fundamental Idea of Socialism The First Main Generalization of Socialism The Second Main Generalization of Socialism The Spirit of Gain and the Spirit of Service Would Socialism Destroy the Home? Would Modern Socialism Abolish All Property? The Middle-Class Man, the Business Man, and Socialism Some Common Objections to Socialism Socialism a Developing Doctrine Revolutionary Socialism Administrative Socialism Constructive Socialism Some Arguments Ad Hominem The Advancement of Socialism Russia in the Shadows -originally published 1920 A series of articles previously printed in The Sunday Express in connection with Wells's second visit to Russia in September and October 1920. Portraying a vivid account of Russian chaos following the first world war, its portrait of Lenin, and its insights into Wells' early opinions of Marx and the future of Russia. Wells portrayed Russia as recovering from a total social collapse, "the completest that has ever happened to any modern social organisation." He minimized the role of the Bolsheviks in the fall of the Russian state, and presented this explanation of their success: "While all the rest of Russia was either apathetic like the peasantry or garrulously at sixes and sevens or given over to violence or fear, the Communists were prepared to act." In an interview with Lenin, the leader and founder of Russian communism. Wells portrays Lenin as a pragmatic leader who "has recently stripped off the last pretence that the Russian revolution is anything more than the inauguration of an age of limitless experiment."

H. 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 Prophecy" The 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." - Wikipedia THE OPEN CONSPIRACY - TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Chapter 1> The Present Crisis in Human Affairs Chapter 2> The Idea of the Open Conspiracy Chapter 3> We Have to Clear and Clean Up Our Minds Chapter 4> The Revolution in Education Chapter 5> Religion in the New World Chapter 6> Modern Religion is Objective Chapter 7> What Mankind Has to Do Chapter 8> Broad Characteristics Of a Scientific World Commonweal Chapter 9> No Stable Utopia Is Now Conceivable Chapter 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 arise Chapter 11> Forces and Resistances in the Great Modern Communities Now Prevalent, Which Are Antagonistic to The Open Conspiracy. The war with Tradition Chapter 12> The Resistances of the Less Industrialized Peoples to the Drive of the Open Conspiracy Chapter 13> Resistances and Antagonistic Forces in our Conscious and Unconscious Selves Chapter 14> The Open Conspiracy Begins as a Movement of Discussion, Explanation, and Propaganda Chapter 15> Early Constructive Work of the Open Conspiracy Chapter 16> Existing and Developing Movements Which Are Contributory to the Open Conspiracy and Which Must Develop a Common Consciousness. The Parable of Provinder Island Chapter 17> The Creative Home, Social Group, and School. The Present Waste of Idealistic Will Chapter 18> Progressive Development of the Activities of the Open Conspiracy Into a World Control and Commonweal. The Hazards of the Attempt Chapter 19> Human Life in the Coming World Community The New World Order was published in 1940. Wells was 74 years old and wondered whether this New World Order was attainable, how it could be attained, and what sort of world a world at peace will have to be. This masterpiece of speculative theory will appeal to those with an interest in the future of humanity and our roles in society. In this Non-Fiction TRIO, H. G. Wells vision and forethought stand out as an important message for future events as well as current times.

Certain Personal Matters is an 1897 collection of essays selected by H. G. Wells from among the many short essays and ephemeral pieces he had written since 1893. The book consists of thirty-nine pieces ranging from about eight hundred to two thousand words in length. A one-shilling reprint (two shillings in cloth) was issued in 1901 by T. Fisher Unwin. The essays in Certain Personal Matters are written from a consistent first-person perspective, but only one (ironically, given the title) describes an identifiable event in Wells's life-how he responded to being diagnosed with tuberculosis in the fall of 1887.
