Three of the novels that set the shape of science fiction sit together here: a machine that travels through time, a man who cannot be seen, and an invasion from Mars.
Wells wrote these at the turn of the twentieth century, using speculative premises to press on class, empire and the limits of science, and the questions have not aged out. The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine and The Invisible Man appear in full, so readers can track how quickly he moved from an idea to its consequences. Wilco Publishing House presents the set as a deluxe hardcover volume.
What sets this volume apart:
• The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine and The Invisible Man in one collection
• H. G. Wells's early scientific romances presented unabridged
• Speculative premises used to examine class, power and scientific ambition
• Deluxe hardcover production from Wilco Publishing House
Suited to science fiction readers, students of the genre's origins and collectors of classic fiction, available from Boipoka.
