Description

A man dreams he is a future official who leaves the levers of power for love while the world slides toward war. Private joy against public ruin. Spoken as Wells dread when choosing happiness still costs the world.

Author

H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was born in Bromley, trained in biology under Huxley, and turned that laboratory habit into fiction. The Time Machine sent a Victorian into deep time; The War of the Worlds brought the sky down on the Home Counties. He wrote as if the future were a social problem with monsters attached. The novels argue while they entertain. A draper's son who made scientific romance a public language.
