The Shape of Things to Come (Penguin Classics)

A futuristic novel in which Wells predicts, along with the Second World War, an eventual rise of a World State run by a benevolent dictatorship. This state promotes science over religion and enforces English as a global language and finally paves the way for a true Utopian State.

The version below called "Things to Come" is not the book by Wells; it is a description of the film made much later.
