First and Last Things by H.G. Wells

This philosophical work unfolds as a personal confession and exploration of belief, reality, and the nature of existence. Divided into four parts—metaphysics, beliefs, conduct, and purpose—it traces a journey through doubt and discovery. The "plot" is intellectual rather than narrative, with each section building toward a worldview grounded in reason, humanism, and personal integrity. It’s a reflective attempt to make sense of life without relying on religious orthodoxy. Deeply personal, it reads as a map of one man's evolving mind.
