The World Set Free

?? He imagined atomic bombs decades before they became reality. ?? H. G. Wells's The World Set Free is one of the most prophetic works in all of science fiction—a stunning vision of technological triumph and moral catastrophe written long before the dawn of the nuclear age. Published in 1914, this astonishing novel foretells the discovery of atomic energy and its use as a weapon capable of reshaping civilization.
