Anticipations

Anticipations H. G. Wells - Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress upon Human Life and Thought, or as it is generally known &quote;Anticipations&quote; was written by H.G. Wells in 1900, at the age of 34. The book became a bestseller, and he personally deemed it &quote;the keystone to the main arch of my work.&quote;Wells looks at the changes due to occur, because of various technologies. In both a social and material superstructural sense. He starts with the changes caused by the steam engine and the mechanical revolution that occurred. Wells believed that humans were living through a great reorganisation of society, which would ultimately effect every single aspect of life. The accuracy of Wells' predictions are stunning.
