Excerpts
edit- A little army of attendants would be at work upon his index day and night... constantly engaged in checking back thumb-marks and numbers, and incessant stream of information would come, of births, of deaths, of arrivals at inns, or applications to post-offices for letters, of tickets taken for long journeys, of criminal convictions, marriages, applications for public doles and the like.... So the inventory of the State would watch its every man and the wide world write its history as the fabric of its destiny flowed on. [c 1]

edit- ↑ This is quoted in: Reagle Jr., Joseph Michael (2010). Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia. MIT Press. [^] (p. 24) to point out that Wells was keen on information management long before World Brain (1938). This also suggests the likelihood that the "microfilm rapid selector" might have been used in searching finger prints.
