What Is Coming? A Forecast Of Things After The War
About the Book
What is Coming?, a classic book first published in 1916, contains the futuristic theories and conceptions of H. G. Wells about the signs of things to come following the World War (1914–1918). The release of this book coincides with the Allied Forces' impending conflict with alleged cruel Germany. These forces consisted of Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia, and Japan. The author believes that in order to prevent further wars, there will need to be a shared World Peace upheld by a common state with a common peace agenda for all nations. The author makes it extremely obvious how the British people as a whole and people in other warring nations have suffered and will continue to suffer for decades even after the war, which will cause a significant shift in how all social strata think about and live. To know such predictions about time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, and biological engineering before these subjects were common in the genre.
Herbert George Wells was an English author who lived from 21 September 1866 to 13 August 1946. He was a prolific writer across various genres who produced dozens of short stories and more than fifty books. Along with works of social commentary, his nonfiction output included essays on politics, history, popular science, satire, biography, and autobiography. Wells has been dubbed the "father of science fiction" and is now primarily known for his science fiction books. He had fallen in love with one of his students, Amy Catherine Robbins (1872–1927), with whom he relocated to Working, Surrey, in May 1895, and the couple decided to split up in 1894. His early writings, dubbed "scientific romances," included The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, When the Sleeper Wakes, and The First Men in the Moon, among other works, and established several ideas that are now considered classics in science fiction. In addition, he produced acclaimed realistic novels like Kipps and Tono-Bungay, which was a satire of Edwardian English culture. At the age of 79, Wells passed away at his London house on 13 Hanover Terrace, which had a view of Regent's Park, for undetermined reasons.
