Wells uses this premise to examine themes of progress, power, and humanity’s relationship with nature. The novel critiques the ethical dilemmas of unchecked scientific advancement while celebrating the potential for transformation. A blend of social commentary and imaginative storytelling, it remains a compelling exploration of ambition and its impact on the world.
