When Dr Philip Raven, an intellectual working for the League of Nations, dies in 1930 he leaves behind a powerful legacy - an unpublished 'dream book'. Inspired by visions he has experienced for many years, it appears to be a book written far into the future: a history of humanity from the date of his death up to 2105.
The Shape of Things to Come
provides this 'history of the future', an account that was in some ways
remarkably prescient - predicting climatic disaster and sweeping
cultural changes, including a Second World War, the rise of chemical
warfare, and political instabilities in the Middle East.
