Mind at the End of Its Tether
work by Wells
Quick Summary
"Mind at the End of Its Tether" is a work by H.G. Wells published in 1945. It depicts a bleak vision of a world where nature has rejected humanity and is actively destroying it. This reflects Wells's growing pessimism about human progress, particularly after World War I, a stark contrast to his earlier optimism and belief in social progress. The work is characteristic of his later writings, which often contained bitter satire and a sense of lost confidence in the future.12
