The Open Conspiracy

*** Shopping-Tip: The Open Conspiracy
'''''The Open Conspiracy''''' is a book published in 1928 by H.G. Wells. In 1930 a revised and expanded version was published, titled ''What are we to do with our Lives?'' This is one of Wells' essays in working towards a Utopian society. In it, he describes how everyone in the world could take part in an "Open Conspiracy" which would "adjust our dislocated world." Wells attempts to show how political, social, and religious differences could be reconciled, resulting in a more unified, inter-cooperating human race.

Excerpt from ''What are we to do with our Lives?''
:"It seemed to me that all over the world intelligent people were waking up to the indignity and absurdity of being endangered, restrained, and impoverished, by a mere uncritical adhesion to traditional governments, traditional ideas of economic life, and traditional forms of behaviour, and that these awaking intelligent people must constitute first a protest and then a creative resistance to the inertia that was stifling and threatening us."
