H.G. Wells’ “War of the Worlds” is a chilling masterpiece that still haunts me. The way he describes the Martian invasion, with those terrifying tripods and heat-rays, feels unnervingly real. I couldn’t put it down, staying up late to finish it. Wells’ vivid prose paints a horrifying picture of humanity’s vulnerability. It’s not just sci-fi; it’s a stark warning about complacency and the dangers of technological superiority. A must-read that’ll make you look at the night sky differently.
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own.
