"Man's soul has always been a battleground; now the battlefield is the atom itself."

Written on the eve of WWI, this startlingly prophetic novel famously predicted the invention of "Atomic Bombs." Wells imagines a world where the discovery of a radioactive element, Carolinum, grants humanity limitless power -- and the means for total destruction.

The Nuclear Prophecy: Decades before the Manhattan Project, Wells described bombs dropped from "aeroplanes" that created "continuous" radioactive explosions, rendering cities uninhabitable.

From Ruin to Utopia: After a devastating "Last War," survivors gather to dismantle nationalism and currency, forging a unified World State fueled by clean atomic energy.

A Modern Warning: A profound meditation on whether human political structures can survive the immense power of our own technology.
