Anotace
'The Discovery of the Future' is a compelling lecture by H.G. Wells arguing for the greater predictability of the future due to science. Following the incredible success of 'Anticipations', Wells once again expresses his firm belief in the future as 'the promise of greater things'. Using scientific approaches and describing various working methods, Wells elaborates on how humanity can predict the future by focusing on general and not individual beliefs. Wells' innovative lecture was originally met with great acclaim and the principle of predicting events due to general causes is still used in political and economic studies today. 'The Discovery of the Future' is an interesting read for fans of Wells' novels as it portrays his unique futuristic beliefs that influenced his celebrated science-fiction stories
