What is Coming?, a classic book first published in 1916, contains the futuristic theories and conceptions of H. G. Wells about the signs of things to come following the World War (1914-1918).

The author believes that in order to prevent further wars, there will need to be a shared World Peace upheld by a common state with a common peace agenda for all nations. The author makes it extremely obvious how the British people as a whole and people in other warring nations have suffered and will continue to suffer for decades even after the war, which will cause a significant shift in how all social strata think about and live. To know such predictions about time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, and biological engineering before these subjects were common in the genre.

Autorenporträt
Herbert George Wells was an influential English writer, best known for his works in science fiction, though his prolific output spanned various genres, including history, social commentary, politics, and autobiography. Born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, London, Wells attended the Normal School of Science in London, where he studied biology under Thomas Henry Huxley. Wells initially worked as a teacher and journalist before turning to writing full time. Over his career, he penned more than fifty novels, along with numerous short stories and non-fiction works. His early works, such as "The Time Machine," "The War of the Worlds," and "The Invisible Man," helped establish him as one of the pioneers of modern science fiction. He also explored themes of social justice, the possibilities of science and technology, and the complexities of human nature in works like "The History of Mr. Polly" and "The Shape of Things to Come." Throughout his life, Wells engaged in political and philosophical discourse, influenced by thinkers like Mark Twain and Plato. He died on August 13, 1946, in London, leaving behind a legacy that shaped the development of speculative fiction and continued to inspire future generations of writers and thinkers.
