Description

The ordinary George Fotheringay discovers he possesses extraordinary powers. Suddenly able to alter reality with a mere wish, he navigates the hilarious yet perilous consequences of his newfound abilities. Wells deftly examines themes of human folly and responsibility as George's miraculous actions spiral beyond control, questioning the impact of limitless power in mortal hands.

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.
