Mind at the End of Its Tether

Mind at the End of Its Tether (1945) is H. G. Wells' last book — only 34 pages long — which he wrote at the age of 78. In it, Wells considers the idea of humanity being soon replaced by some other, more advanced, species of being.^[1] He bases this thought on his long interest in the paleontological record. At the time of writing Wells had not yet heard of the atomic bomb (but had predicted a form of it in his 1914 book The World Set Free).^[2][3]
