After Us, or the World as it Might Be, also known as After Us, is a collection of essays in futurology written by British surgeon John Lockhart-Mummery, and published by London's Stanley Paul in 1936. In it, Lockhart-Mummery imagines Britain as it might be in the 25th century using the device of a series of letters home from a New Zealander. He imagines a world where all male children are sterilised shortly after birth, except for those carefully selected. Those exempt from compulsory sterilisation would provide the "seed" for future generations by artificial insemination.

| - After Us, or the World as it Might Be, also known as After Us, is a collection of essays in futurology written by British surgeon John Lockhart-Mummery, and published by London's Stanley Paul in 1936. In it, Lockhart-Mummery imagines Britain as it might be in the 25th century using the device of a series of letters home from a New Zealander. He imagines a world where all male children are sterilised shortly after birth, except for those carefully selected. Those exempt from compulsory sterilisation would provide the "seed" for future generations by artificial insemination. The book has 287 pages and begins with a preface followed by a list of 24 chapter titles. The foreword is given by the author's friend Lord Horder, president of the Eugenics Society, who thought Lockhart-Mummery's theories radical. (en)
