The future of mankind is in the hands of science-and it may not survive.
In The World Set Free, H. G. Wells imagines a world transformed by the discovery of atomic energy-decades before the real-world invention of nuclear weapons. His vision is both awe-inspiring and terrifying: nations wield unprecedented power, but with it comes catastrophic global warfare and the urgent question of whether humanity can learn to control the forces it unleashes.
First published in 1914, this prophetic novel predicts the atomic bomb and the political upheavals it could bring, offering a startlingly accurate warning about technology's double-edged nature. At once thrilling, tragic, and hopeful, Wells' masterpiece explores the tension between scientific advancement and moral responsibility.
