Diamonds in the rough, Jan 21 2001
This review is from: Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress: Upon Human Life and Thought (Paperback)
This book offers an interesting, although distanced, look at the technological progress of the 20th century - from the perspective of 1901.
H.G. Wells reflects some of the less attractive characteristics of a world we have grown beyond, but has a keen insight into social dynamics and the progress it directs.
Much of the book is not worth reading, but there are snippets of truth that point to major changes that our world economy and cultures are still going through. If you are willing to wade through the rough, there are some diamonds to be found.
