🧬 When science breaks its moral bounds, what becomes of humanity?

The Island of Doctor Moreau is H. G. Wells's dark and unforgettable exploration of genetic manipulation, scientific hubris, and the fragile boundary between man and beast. Both horrifying and philosophical, this novel stands as one of the earliest and most powerful warnings against unethical science.

🌴 A shipwreck. A mysterious island. A nightmare of creation. Edward Prendick is rescued at sea—only to be abandoned on a remote island controlled by the elusive Dr. Moreau. There, he discovers a terrifying experiment in progress: animals surgically and psychologically transformed into human-like creatures. What unfolds is a psychological and moral descent into madness, control, and the question of what it means to be human.

⚠️ A visionary warning still relevant today. Published in 1896, The Island of Doctor Moreau anticipates the ethical dilemmas of genetic engineering, animal rights, and scientific responsibility. It's a tense, deeply philosophical read wrapped in suspense and horror.
