About this book
A telephone call about a flight over the Channel in July 1909 starts these short essays by H. G. Wells, collected in 1914. He admits the feat came years sooner than he had predicted, and uses it to ask what the aeroplane means for England. The pieces that follow range over labour unrest, syndicalism, the future of the empire, divorce, doctors, schoolmasters and the modern novel. Others take up the endowment of motherhood, the diseases of parliaments, the American population and the possible collapse of civilisation.
