"The Future in America: A Search After Realities" by H. G. Wells is a 1906 travel essay recounting his impressions from the first of half a dozen visits the author would make to the United States. Much of the book is devoted to a discussion of American social problems: labor, corruption, immigration, "state-blindness", injustice, racial prejudice, American universities, Boston's excessive attachment to the past, and the urgent need for democratizing political reform. The last chapter of the book is devoted to impressions of Theodore Roosevelt, whom he visited at the White House.
