Science fiction

What if you fell asleep in one century and woke up the wealthiest man in the next?

Graham, a wealthy young man, succumbs to a mysterious illness only to awaken two hundred and three years later in a technologically advanced, yet deeply oppressive, 22nd-century London. H. G. Wells, the visionary author, crafts a prophetic and chillingly relevant tale of dystopian future shock. Feel the wonder of massive moving sidewalks and climate control, swiftly replaced by the shock and thrill of realizing that humanity has been segregated into a rigid, controlled system where the masses toil and he, the 'Sleeper,' is a revered, yet powerless, figurehead. This powerful novel is a searing social critique wrapped in a gripping adventure, exploring themes of exploitation, mass media, and the dangers of unchecked capitalism.

Cited by critics as one of the earliest and most influential dystopian novels, The Sleeper Awakes is a foundational text in the H. G. Wells collection that influenced countless stories of future societies.
