H.G. Wells’s science fiction book The Shape of Things to Come speculates about the future up to the year 2106. It is not a novel but rather a fictional history book. The book is dominated by Wells’s view that ”a world state” is needed to solve humanity’s problems. According to Wells’s vision, this dictatorial world would be governed primarily through technology, with English serving as the global language.
Herbert George Wells became a member of the Fabian Society in London in 1903.
Alan Watt writes: ”H.G. Wells worked for the British government. He was a PR man for the British government for the secret service propagandist. He coined the term ’the war to end all wars.'”
H.G. Wells also wrote The New World Order, which was originally published in January 1940. In the book, Wells argued that a ”new world order” should be established to unite the nations of the world in order to create peace and bring an end to war. The New World Order also advocates a legal system that would protect the rights of humanity.
