World Set Free Synopsis

According to Wikipedia.com, "e;Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English author, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary. Together with Jules Verne, Wells has been referred to as "e;The Father of Science Fiction"e;.

The World Set Free is a novel published in 1914 by H. G. Wells.

The book is considered to foretell nuclear weapons. A constant theme of Wells's work, such as his 1901 nonfiction book Anticipations, was the effect of energy and technological advance as a determinant of human progress. The novel begins: "e;The history of mankind is the history of the attainment of external power.

Man is the tool-using, fire-making animal."e;
