The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth : H. G. Wells' Visionary Tale of Giants, Science, and Chaos

When science meddles with nature… who pays the price?

From the mind of H. G. Wells—master of speculative fiction—comes The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth, a bold tale where science creates a miracle… and then loses control of it.

In an age of innovation, two scientists develop a substance that causes enormous growth—literally. What starts as a miracle for agriculture quickly spreads to animals, insects, and even children, birthing a world of giants and unleashing unintended consequences. Society fractures, fear rises, and mankind must confront the monsters it made.

🧬 A prophetic story of hubris, ethics in science, and evolutionary terror, this gripping novel mixes social satire with Wells' trademark visionary power.

This edition includes:

Complete and unabridged original text

Thought-provoking illustrations

A timely narrative that resonates in today's world of bioengineering and AI

🌍 More than fiction—Wells warns us about the cost of unchecked progress.

Discover the classic that predicted modern dilemmas.
