The Way the World Is Going: Guesses & Forecasts of the Years Ahead (1928) by H. G. Wells is a collection of essays in which the author reflects on the political, social, and economic transformations of the interwar period while offering projections about the future direction of global society. Written in the aftermath of the First World War and amid mounting international instability, the volume articulates Wells’ concern with nationalism, economic disorder, and the need for rational global organization. Blending journalism, social criticism, and speculative foresight, the work exemplifies Wells’ longstanding engagement with futurist thought and his belief in planned progress guided by scientific and intellectual leadership.
