The Sleeper Awakes : A Futuristic Dystopia by H. G. Wells

A man sleeps for two centuries... and awakens to rule the world.

In The Sleeper Awakes, H.G. Wells imagines a future ruled by unchecked capitalism and technological domination. When Graham, a Victorian man, falls into a deep sleep, he awakens over 200 years later to find he has become the richest and most powerful man on Earth. But the world he inherits is dark, mechanized, and oppressed—a dystopian nightmare he never intended to create.

Written before Orwell's 1984 and decades ahead of its time, this novel tackles themes of control, rebellion, and the illusion of progress. Wells' prophetic vision is startlingly relevant, exploring what happens when money, machines, and power fall into the wrong hands.

This edition includes a specially written foreword and annotations to help modern readers grasp the historical and political context of Wells' futuristic warning.

"The original dystopian novel. Wells imagined the future before the world caught up." — The Guardian

"Visionary and chilling… H.G. Wells at his most radical." — Science Fiction Chronicle
