The World Set Free
H.G. Wells, prescient as ever, dives headfirst into the societal upheaval wrought by atomic energy. Mass unemployment and a teetering social order provide fertile ground for global powers to ignite a devastating world war, eerily foreshadowing the Great War on the horizon for Wells' 1914 readers. Through the eyes of a soldier, a dethroned king, a despot, and a philosopher, we witness humanity's desperate scramble for a better future amidst unprecedented destruction, gaining intimate access to Wells' own anxieties and aspirations for the human race.
