"The Discovery of the Future" by H. G. Wells is a philosophical lecture delivered in 1902 that challenges how humanity thinks about time and knowledge. Wells distinguishes between minds oriented toward the past and those focused on the future, arguing that scientific methods make the future knowable in ways previously unimagined. He explores how large-scale patterns in human behavior can be predicted, though individual destinies remain mysterious, and contemplates humanity's ultimate fate and purpose in the world.
