"What is Coming? A Forecast of Things after the War" takes its place among the non-fiction works by the famous author H. G. Wells. Written at the onset of World War 2, Wells does what he does best, to anticipate the future events on the world stage. Among his predictions of post-war Britain is an economic state where property will be communally owned, where lawyers and scientists will be the deliverers of the state, and a reformed education that places emphasis on languages, mathematics and philosophy as drivers of the future nation.
