The Coming People is a book written by Charles Fletcher Dole and published in 1897. The book is an exploration of the future of humanity, as seen through the eyes of a turn-of-the-century American. Dole was a Unitarian minister and social reformer who believed in the power of human progress and the potential for a better world.The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the future. The first part examines the changes that are taking place in society, including the rise of industrialization and the growth of cities. Dole argues that these changes are leading to a new kind of civilization, one that is more democratic, more egalitarian, and more focused on the common good.The second part of the book looks at the role of science and technology in shaping the future. Dole argues that science and technology have the potential to solve many of the world's problems, from poverty and disease to war and environmental degradation. He also explores the ethical implications of these developments, asking whether humanity is capable of using its newfound power responsibly.The final part of the book is a vision of the future, in which humanity has overcome its challenges and created a better world. Dole imagines a society in which people are free to pursue their passions and interests, where the arts and sciences flourish, and where everyone has access to education and healthcare. He also envisions a world in which people live in harmony with nature, respecting the environment and working to preserve it for future generations.Overall, The Coming People is a hopeful and optimistic book that celebrates the potential of humanity. Dole's vision of the future is inspiring, and his ideas about social progress and technological advancement still resonate today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
