3.0 out of 5 stars For Historians of the Period, 1 Sep 2009
By Mr. Ross Maynard (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The World Set Free (Paperback)
Published in 1913, "The World Set Free" is Wells' attempt to forecast the future of the twentieth century in the form of a story and, thereby, begin to set out his early political views. He predicts a devastating nuclear war and the rise of a World Republic. His portrayal of the build up to the war, and the immediate aftermath is compelling, but after that the story gets bogged down in his views on the world state. Run by "the great and the good" this world state has little room for democracy. Farms are collectivised and private property abolished. It's a kind of communism, and we know now that communism is a disaster. At the time, however, this was probably a prophetic and influential book and, therefore, worth studying by historians trying to understand the feeling of the time. It is probably best not read as a novel.
