Amazing. A really obscure HG Well I had not heard of.He lays out the outline for Wikipedia, with no way to implement it (yet).
Not fiction, well thought out scholarship.

World Brain edition by H G Wells Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A broad and prolific mind, had Mr. Wells. This book shows him in his P&P mode Predictor and Proselytor. 'The World Brain' sounds like the title of one of his many stories which more or less invented the field of science fiction as we know it. This is not so...this is non-fiction. Nor is it like such books of his as his world history. This, in fact, is a collection of his talks, given at home, here in the US, and in Europe over a three year period on the general subject of a need for a better encyclopedia. This book will prove boring, I suspect, for most because of its' repetitious nature but for the same reason, its' repitition, it is interesting to read as his ideas move over the period. And to realize, as they do, that he is in fact, creating what we now call the World Wide Web.
"There is no practical obstacle whatsoever now to the creation of an efficient index to all human knowledge, ideas and achievements, to the creation, that is, of a complete planetary memory for all mankind. It foreshadows a real intellectual unification of our race. The whole human memory can be, and probably in a short time will be, made accessible to every individual. In what is also of very great importance in this uncertain world where destruction becomes continually more frequent and unpredictable, is this, that...it need not be concentrated in a one single place. It need not be vulnerable as a human head or a human heart is vulnerable. It can be reproduced exactly and fully, in Peru, China, Iceland, Central Africa, or wherever else.... It can have at once, the concentration of a craniate animal and the diffused vitality of an amoeba." H. G. Wells, 1937 in his book titled "WORLD BRAIN"
