Summary

The Open Conspiracy describes H. G. Wells' vision to establish an international system of global control over human life through a world which is politically, socially and economically unified.

Description

The Open Conspiracy presents H. G. Wells' vision for an international movement to establish control over the destinies of human life. Through a process of propaganda and a "conspiracy" unfolding in full view, Wells hopes to create a world which is politically, socially and economically unified, ultimately leading to a revolution aimed at peace, welfare and happiness - a "world commonwealth".

First published in 1928 when radical movements like communism and fascism were shaking the established order, Wells pushes for a utopian world in which science is a religion, nation states do not exist any more, and population size and the distribution of food are coordinated by a global elite of businessmen and experts.

The Open Conspiracy prophetically foreshadows current developments towards global, technocratic governance and data-driven decision making.

About the Author

Herbert George Wells (1866-1946), the English writer famous for his pioneering science fiction novels, was also a prolific author of non-fiction books about historical, scientific and political themes. In these books, immensely popular at the time, he drew on his studies of biology and geology, as well as on the ideas of his teacher, the prominent Darwinist and eugenicist, Thomas Henry Huxley.
