"World Brain" is a thought-provoking work by H.G. Wells that explores the concept of a universal knowledge repository. Wells envisions a future where all human knowledge is interconnected and accessible to everyone, facilitated by advanced technology. He argues that such a collective intelligence could significantly improve human understanding and cooperation on a global scale.
The book presents the idea of a 'World Brain' as an evolving entity that collects, organizes, and disseminates information. Wells emphasizes the importance of education and the role of media in shaping public knowledge. He believes that by making knowledge universally accessible, society can achieve greater wisdom and mitigate conflicts.
