“World Brain” is an article written by H. G. Wells and first contributed to the new “Encyclopédie Française” in 1937. It explores the idea of a “permanent world encyclopaedia” that would contain “the whole human memory” and that would be “a world synthesis of bibliography and documentation with the indexed archives of the world.” Fascinating and arguably prophetic reading, “World Brain” will appeal to fan Wells' work. Herbert George Wells (1866 – 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as “The Time Machine” (1895), “The Invisible Man” (1897), and “The War of the Worlds” (1898). "The Father of Science Fiction" was also a staunch socialist, and his later works are increasingly political and didactic. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Amazing. A really obscure HG Well I had not heard of.He lays out the outline for Wikipedia, with no way to implement it (yet).
Not fiction, well thought out scholarship.

World Brain edition by H G Wells Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A broad and prolific mind, had Mr. Wells. This book shows him in his P&P mode Predictor and Proselytor. 'The World Brain' sounds like the title of one of his many stories which more or less invented the field of science fiction as we know it. This is not so...this is non-fiction. Nor is it like such books of his as his world history. This, in fact, is a collection of his talks, given at home, here in the US, and in Europe over a three year period on the general subject of a need for a better encyclopedia. This book will prove boring, I suspect, for most because of its' repetitious nature but for the same reason, its' repitition, it is interesting to read as his ideas move over the period. And to realize, as they do, that he is in fact, creating what we now call the World Wide Web.
"There is no practical obstacle whatsoever now to the creation of an efficient index to all human knowledge, ideas and achievements, to the creation, that is, of a complete planetary memory for all mankind. It foreshadows a real intellectual unification of our race. The whole human memory can be, and probably in a short time will be, made accessible to every individual. In what is also of very great importance in this uncertain world where destruction becomes continually more frequent and unpredictable, is this, that...it need not be concentrated in a one single place. It need not be vulnerable as a human head or a human heart is vulnerable. It can be reproduced exactly and fully, in Peru, China, Iceland, Central Africa, or wherever else.... It can have at once, the concentration of a craniate animal and the diffused vitality of an amoeba." H. G. Wells, 1937 in his book titled "WORLD BRAIN"
