About

A revolutionary scientific discovery changes the world forever, forcing humanity to confront the power and consequences of atomic energy.

H. G. Wells's The World Set Free presents a visionary story of scientific discovery, technological progress, and the transformation of human civilization. Written in 1914, the novel explores the possibilities of atomic energy and its impact on warfare, politics, society, and the future of humanity.

As scientific breakthroughs reshape the world, Wells examines the challenges of technological power and the urgent need for humanity to build a more peaceful and cooperative civilization. Blending speculative science fiction with political ideas and social commentary, the novel offers a thought-provoking vision of a future shaped by both scientific advancement and human choices.

An influential work of early science fiction, The World Set Free is an engaging choice for readers interested in atomic energy, futuristic literature, scientific imagination, and the ideas of H. G. Wells.

Discover Wells's extraordinary vision of atomic energy and explore a classic science fiction novel that imagines a world transformed by scientific progress.
