Description

When science dares to change nature, the results are beyond imagination...
Two ambitious scientists, Mr. Bensington and Professor Redwood, develop a miraculous substance -- Herakleophorbia IV, known as "The Food of the Gods" -- designed to accelerate growth in living organisms. At first, their experiment seems like a marvel of modern science. But soon, chickens grow to monstrous size, insects become terrifying giants, and humans exposed to the formula begin to tower over ordinary men.

In The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth, H. G. Wells delivers a gripping and witty commentary on progress, hubris, and the unpredictable consequences of human innovation. Part science fiction adventure, part biting satire, this 1904 classic warns that humanity's reach may exceed its grasp.

"One of Wells' most imaginative and darkly humorous works."
- The Guardian

"A sharp, thrilling reminder of the double-edged sword of scientific progress."
- The New York Times
