Discovery Of The Future

H. G. Wells

The Discovery of the Future is a philosophical lecture by H. G. Wells, delivered in 1902. In this work, Wells contrasts two types of minds: those focused on the past and those oriented toward the future. He argues for the possibility of understanding and shaping the future through generalizations about human destiny. The lecture also explores the question of what comes after humanity, reflecting Wells' belief in a coherent and purposeful world.
