Book Description | "The World Set Free" is one of the most important science fiction novels in modern history. For more than a century, it has predicted the scientific leaps that humanity will make and has been an inspiring motivation for us to set up a company that they imagine, as it is a rare sample that proves science's subordination to literature. Wells was a visionary genius, as his many other works demonstrated, but this book was one of his best; He predicted atomic wars several decades before the beginning of any research in the field, describing the sequential interaction and the radiation produced; He elaborated on a weapon of enormous destructive power, thrown from the sky to destroy everything over several kilometres; Not only that, but it is this novel that first named this new weapon the "atomic bomb." This novel was at least part of the inspiration for the development of atomic weapons, as well as the presentation of many other scientific and revolutionary ideas achieved with time. We wish you could enjoy this novel by Herbert George Wells, one of the founding giants of science fiction literature. |
