The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth: A Daring Sci-Fi Allegory of Science, Growth, and Chaos by H. G. Wells

🌱 What if a scientific breakthrough gave rise to a race of giants—and changed the fate of humanity forever?

In The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth, H. G. Wells delivers one of his most thought-provoking and allegorical works. This bold novel explores the unintended consequences of scientific progress, as two researchers discover a substance that causes extraordinary growth—in plants, animals, and eventually, people.

🧪 One invention. Gigantic consequences. When scientists invent "Herakleophorbia IV"—a chemical compound that accelerates growth—they imagine a utopia of abundance. But when it escapes into the environment, nature spirals out of control. Insects grow to monstrous size, chickens tower over men, and a new generation of giant children threatens to disrupt every societal norm.

⚖️ A razor-sharp satire of science, politics, and fear of change. Wells turns a fantastical premise into a brilliant commentary on the clash between innovation and tradition, youth and age, progress and control. It's a thrilling, often humorous, and deeply philosophical look at the price of greatness—and the resistance it provokes.
