☢️ Written in 1914, it predicted atomic bombs. What it says about the future still matters today.

The World Set Free is H. G. Wells's astonishingly prophetic novel that foresaw the invention of nuclear weapons decades before they became reality. A visionary mix of science fiction and political philosophy, this gripping tale imagines a world transformed—first by destruction, then by rebirth.

💣 A world on the brink. A discovery that changes everything. As scientists unlock the power of atomic energy, the balance of global power shatters. Cities are annihilated, nations fall, and the very structure of civilization collapses. Yet amid the ashes, a new hope emerges: a vision for a world united under peace, knowledge, and shared purpose.

🌐 A brilliant blend of speculative fiction and political idealism. Wells doesn't simply warn about technology—he offers a daring solution. Through global cooperation, education, and visionary leadership, he imagines how humanity might rebuild and finally free itself from war and ignorance.

🌟 What Critics and Readers Say: "One of the most visionary novels ever written." — The Atlantic
