Social Forces in England and America by H. G. Wells

"Social Forces in England and America" by H. G. Wells is an essay collection published in 1914. This gathering of twenty-six journalistic pieces reflects Wells's shift from fiction to social commentary during the years before World War I. Ranging across topics from aviation and imperialism to socialism, divorce, and the future of civilization, these essays reveal Wells grappling with the transformative forces reshaping Edwardian society. Through his characteristically provocative lens, Wells examines everything from traffic problems to the possibilities of science and the grand sweep of human adventure.
