Subtitled “an unconventional novel”, this novel by H. G. Wells is written in the form - not of a film script, but of a fully fledged movie treatment. Not only is the action described and the dialogue set out, but each scene is set out as guidance for the director and camera operator. The book was published in 1929, and it seems to be envisaged as a silent film (dialogue is described as being displayed on the screen rather than there being a sound track.)
The novel is on the subject of achieving world peace through the creation of international institutions governing the management of scarce resources and other potential flashpoints.
