He came to look at the future and was not entirely convinced by it. Wells crossed America in 1906 asking what the country was actually becoming: the skyscrapers, the immigration, the industry, the race question the republic would not face, and whether anyone at all was steering. Prophecy written on the move, and unnervingly accurate about a good deal of it.
