It is 1930. Dr Raven is dead. He has left behind a chronicle of the years 1930 - 2105, a "short history of the future".
A World War rages from 1940 - 50, exhausting the West and bringing in its wake famine, plague and eco-disaster. In 1968 central London collapses into the Thames. America fragments - the Declaration of Independence is rescinded, but no legitimate heir of George III can be found. Over all the threat of new war still hangs - until the scientific and technical elite gather at the Basra Conference and begin to work out a new World Order.
This edition, edited by John Hammond, is complete with introduction, notes, text summary, selected criticism and a chronology of Wells's life and times.
