G. Wells is a socio-political treatise written in the late 1920s. The book lays out Wells’s vision for a transformative global movement aimed at unifying humanity through science, rational organization, and a reconceptualized sense of religion and duty. The likely topic of the book is the necessity and possible implementation of a new world order—one that transcends national borders and collective traditions—in the pursuit of enduring peace, social equity, and creative human flourishing. The opening of the book establishes Wells’s passionate commitment to articulating the core ideas and aims that have shaped his life’s work, positioning this treatise as both a summation of his beliefs and a call to action. He begins by arguing for the fundamental necessity of religion or an equivalent unifying purpose in human societies, tracing how communal values and altruistic impulses have historically underpinned social cohesion. Wells then critiques the outdated forms and metaphors of traditional religions in light of modern scientific and psychological understanding, calling for a restatement of faith grounded in self-transcendence and service to a greater collective good. As the book moves into its initial chapters, Wells sketches the practical contours of a new “world commonweal,” discusses the difficulties of establishing such a global unity, and emphasizes that this new movement—an “open conspiracy”—must be inclusive, heterogeneous, and aboveboard, capable of overcoming the myriad resistances embedded in current social, economic, and national practices.
