What if humanity discovered a source of energy powerful enough to transform the entire world—and destroy it at the same time? A scientific breakthrough becomes the beginning of an extraordinary vision of the future.
In The World Set Free, H. G. Wells imagines a future in which scientific discoveries lead to the development of powerful atomic weapons. As nations gain access to this destructive technology, global conflict reaches a terrifying scale. The devastation eventually forces humanity to reconsider its political systems and search for a new form of international cooperation.
Remarkably prophetic in its treatment of atomic energy and warfare, this novel combines speculative science fiction with political philosophy and social criticism. It examines technological progress, global responsibility, and the possibilities of rebuilding civilization.
