Published in 1908, in an era when airplanes were merely a rumor and airships, like hot air balloons and blimps, ruled the skies, Wells’s novel is notable for its prophetic ideas, including the use of the airplane for warfare, the coming of a world war, and the development of a brutal, feudal society after the war’s destruction.
