This story by the renowned author and one of the fathers of Science Fiction, H.G. Wells, is one of his less well-known scientific romances. Even though it was published in 1904, it deals with issues that are just as relevant, if not more so, today: first and foremost it deals with what is possible scientifically and what can happen when no thought is given to the consequences of putting these possibilities into practice. This edition contains some line drawings at the beginning of the book.
