The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645594812)

The Open Conspiracy presents H. G. Wells' vision for an international movement to establish control over the destinies of human life. Through a process of propaganda and a "conspiracy" unfolding in full view, Wells hopes to create a world which is politically, socially and economically unified, ultimately leading to a revolution aimed at peace, welfare and happiness - a "world commonwealth".

First published in 1928 when radical movements like communism and fascism were shaking the established order, Wells pushes for a utopian world in which science is a religion, nation states do not exist any more, and population size and the distribution of food are coordinated by a global elite of businessmen and experts.

The Open Conspiracy prophetically foreshadows current developments towards global, technocratic governance and data-driven decision making.
