Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net  a"Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress upon Human Life and Thought" by H.G. Wells is a work of social prophecy published in 1901. At thirty-four, Wells predicted how technological revolution would transform twentieth-century society. He forecast the rise of motor vehicles, suburban sprawl, and shifting class structures. Wells envisioned new forms of warfare, the obsolescence of democracy, and the emergence of a scientifically trained governing class. His predictions proved remarkably prescient, though his social philosophy remains controversial.
