"The Discovery of the Future" by H. G. Wells is a compelling discussion about how we think about time and how it shapes our lives. Wells contrasts two ways of thinking: focusing on the past versus looking to the future. He cleverly explores how these mindsets affect what we do and how we make decisions about what is right and wrong. Wells highlights that most people are stuck in the past, following old rules, while a smaller group actively creates the future by imagining what could be. According to Wells, this split impacts everything from our morals to our government and the way society changes. Wells believes progress depends on our ability to look ahead and prepare for what’s coming, urging everyone to break free from the limits of the past and thoughtfully consider what's possible.
