In these 'scientific romances' H. G. Wells sees the present reflected in the future & the future in the present. His aim is to provoke rather than predict.

The Sleeper falls into a trance, waking up two centuries later as the richest man in a world of new technologies, power-greedy leaders, sensual elites, & brutalised industrial slaves.

Arriving in the year 802, 701, the Time-Traveller finds that humanity has evolved into two drastically different species; going farther still, he witnesses the ultimate fate of the solar system. The Chronic Argonauts, the original version of The Time Machine, pits a scientist with daring views of time & space against superstitious villagers.

In all three works Wells laces vivid adventure stories with the latest ideas in biology & physics.

This paperback book has 344 pages & measures: 19.6 x 12.6 x 1.6cm
