Looked through list of books that entered public domain. Came across this one, written by H.G. Wells, so as War of the worlds, Time machine, Invisible man are a couple of them and made into movies.
This book has fifty-five articles written by H.G.W. over a period of one year of journalistic writing by H.G.W.
Haven't read it yet (but I'm going to read it), but skimmed through it and read a couple of pages, that got me hooked. Not sure if this will be the case but it shows you the views in the world and even 95 years later still around in some way or other. As much of things changes the core stays the same.
You want a copy for yourself to easy read:
