Step into an infinite world of stories
Non-Fiction
What happens when science outpaces humanity, and the children of the future are giants among us?
Prepare for a chilling, timeless thought experiment from H. G. Wells, the pioneer of scientific romance! Two brilliant but naive scientists discover a substance, 'Herakleophorbia IV'—the "Food of the Gods"—that causes all living things to grow to colossal, unprecedented size.
Feel the initial wonder as chickens become as tall as houses and rats become monstrous predators. But the true drama unfolds when the substance is fed to humans, creating generations of towering giants who must inevitably confront the "Little People" of the original world. This powerful narrative plunges the reader into a society overwhelmed by chaos and moral conflict, exploring profound questions about class, revolution, and the limits of human progress. It is a brilliant blend of exciting adventure and sharp social satire.
As a cornerstone of H. G. Wells' masterful collection alongside The War of the Worlds and The Time Machine, this novel remains a provocative look at our destiny.
