About the book

H. G. Wells'Äô «The Sleeper Awakes» presents a thought-provoking dystopian narrative that reflects the tumultuous socio-political climate of the early 20th century. Revised from its original title «When the Sleeper Wakes,» the novel weaves a complex tapestry of themes such as technological advancement, class struggle, and the consequences of unbridled capitalism. Through a vivid narrative style marked by richly descriptive prose and incisive social commentary, Wells immerses the reader in a future where the protagonist, Graham, awakens after a lengthy slumber to find society drastically transformed, confronting him with the harsh reality of a stratified world governed by a terrifyingly advanced oligarchy. H. G. Wells, often heralded as the father of science fiction, drew upon his experiences as a social reformer and commentator to craft narratives that both entertain and provoke critical thought. His keen insights into the disparity between the powerful and the oppressed, underlined by his own observations of the industrialized society of his time, profoundly influenced this work. Wells' visionary perspective not only reflects contemporary anxieties but also foreshadows future societal dilemmas. For readers interested in the intersections of technology, society, and the human condition, «The Sleeper Awakes» remains a timeless exploration of our potential futures. It serves as a compelling reflection on the price of progress and a clarion call for social responsibility, making it a must-read for those who marvel at the implications of our advancing civilization.
