A.C. Grayling 'The Legacy of a Complex Man' (2016 Event)

Best known for sci-fi novels such as The Time
Machine and The Invisible Man, H G Wells also wrote
numerous non-fiction works. His wide-ranging ideas pre-dated many
modern concerns, including the internet and the black civil
rights movement. Yet Wells was also capable of deeply unpalatable
beliefs, including his advocacy of eugenics. In this lecture
recorded live at the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival,
philosopher A C Grayling explores the intellectual legacy of a
complex man.
