Description

In "A Vision of Judgement," H. G. Wells imagines a future in which the deceased are judged by their peers. This judgment is based on their actions during life, and their souls are weighed accordingly. Wells' vision is one of justice and fairness, and he believes that this system would ultimately lead to a more harmonious world.

Author

H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was born in Bromley, trained in biology under Huxley, and turned that laboratory habit into fiction. The Time Machine sent a Victorian into deep time; The War of the Worlds brought the sky down on the Home Counties. He wrote as if the future were a social problem with monsters attached. The novels argue while they entertain. A draper's son who made scientific romance a public language.
