'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 fans of any of Wells' work. Includes a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
