Produktbeschreibung
"The World Set Free" is a technology fiction novel written by means of H. G. Wells. This pioneering work is extraordinary for its prediction of nuclear weapons long before they have become a fact, making it a visionary piece of literature. Set in the early 20th century and later into the 21st century, the radical affords a global where scientific advancements result in the introduction of atomic bombs, referred to as "atomic bombs" inside the book. These bombs, as soon as unleashed, have devastating and long-lasting outcomes, reshaping the course of human history. Wells explores the political, social, and ethical ramifications of this powerful new weapon, depicting a global in consistent turmoil and battle. Amid the chaos, the story follows a cast of characters, such as scientists and global leaders, as they grapple with the adverse ability of atomic energy. "The World Set Free" now not simplest serves as a cautionary story about the risks of unchecked scientific development but also as a commentary at the need for global cooperation and disarmament to prevent catastrophic consequences. It's worth noting that H. G. Wells' novel is taken into consideration a precursor to the real-international development and use of nuclear weapons all through World War II.

Autorenporträt
English author Herbert George Wells wrote more than fifty novels and several short stories. He was born on 21 September 1866, in Bromley, Kent, and was the fourth and last child of Joseph Wells. Wells married his cousin Isabel Mary Wells in 1891. In 1894 the couple got separated, and he fell in love with one of his students, Amy Catherine Robbins, with whom he relocated to Woking, Surrey, in May 1895. Wells' greatest collection of work, which was lamented by younger authors he had influenced, was produced before the First World War. Wells passed away in his residence at 13 Hanover Terrace, which had an overlooked view of Regent's Park, in London on August 13, 1946, at the age of 79 due to unidentified causes. Wells was cremated at Golders Green Crematory, and his ashes were scattered into the English Channel at Old Harry Rocks, which is located in Dorset and approximately 3.5 miles from Swanage.
