The World Set Free is a perfect example of H. G. Wells’s gift for prophecy. Written on the eve of World War I, the novel predicts a major world war (although in the story the war doesn’t start until 1956). The novel also examines the advent of atomic power, both as a bomb and a source of energy.

Om författaren
H. G. Wells (1866–1946), is often called the “Father of Science Fiction.” While science fiction was his most popular genre, Wells also wrote on history, politics, and made social commentary. His “scientific romances” speculated about the future, scientific advancements, and outer space. His works include The Time Machine, and The War of the Worlds.
