H. G.

Wars would no longer be fought and hunger would not rear its ugly head.

The thesis of this story is that “because of the development of scientific knowledge, separate sovereign states and separate sovereign empires are no longer possible in the world.

The remaining interest of this book now is the sustained validity of this thesis and the discussion of the possible ending of war on the earth.”
