A collection of essays about the future written by HG Wells published as a book entitled 'The Way the World is Going' in 1927.<p>After my grandfather died I was cleaning his attic when I found the book in a bookshelf.<p>The essays in the book all revolve around the concept of predicting how the world will look in the future based on certain trends identified by HG Wells.<p>Predictions of the future by people in the past are always interesting to read, and this book is especially so because some of Wells' predictions are strikingly accurate while others are wildly inaccurate. As a very learned and wise person his analysis is fascinating.<p>Here are some of the titles of the essays:<p>1. Man Becomes a Different Animal. Delusions about Human Fixity. (January 9, 1927)<p>2.
