Summary: Wells' vision of the future is chillingly accurate. Before the World Wars or the invention of the airplane, tank, or nuclear bomb, he knew technological advances would increase the death and destruction wrought by war. He foresaw how one madman (e.g., Hitler) could cause it all. And he made real and personal the terrible tragedy that results when our vigilance falters. Written a century ago, this is a story for our time. |
