A prophetic novel that envisions a future revolutionized by the discovery of nuclear energy. The narrative unfolds the catastrophic and transformative effects of atomic technology, released in a devastating world war, leading humanity to the brink of self-destruction. From the ashes of global conflict, a new social order emerges, striving towards a utopian society free from the chains of nationalism and war. Wells masterfully explores themes of power, progress, and the potential for humanity's rebirth or its ultimate downfall in the face of unparalleled technological advancements.
