The Salvaging of Civilization

"The Salvaging of Civilization" by H. G. Wells is a thought-provoking exploration of humanity's precarious state following a major war, arguing for a unified global society to prevent future disasters; the book suggests that old-fashioned patriotism must give way to worldwide collaboration if civilization is to endure. It starts by looking at how easily civilization can be broken by war's destruction, advocating for political and social changes that recognize our interconnected world. Wells builds his case for world unity with historical context and political ideas, warning that if we fail to adapt, the results could be devastating for everyone.
