The Books Oracle
by H.G. Wells
Two of Wells's pioneering science fiction novels explore the consequences of scientific ambition unchecked by moral consideration. A Victorian inventor travels to humanity's far future only to witness its tragic devolution, while a scientist's pursuit of invisibility leads to madness and murder. Wells combines thrilling adventure with prescient social commentary on class, progress, and the dangers of knowledge pursued without wisdom.
