This trio are from Wells's utopian writings, which generally chronicle a future society of potential greatness that has failed its mission and gone to seed. Not as posh as the "Deluxe Classics Editions," these nonetheless feature many nice extras, including scholarly introductions. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
Graham, an insomniac, succumbs to a drug-induced slumber, waking up two centuries later to discover he has unwittingly become the richest and most influential man in the world. The future, however, is bleak-a dystopian society where the elite oppress the masses under a pseudo-utopian facade. Thrust into the role of a messiah for the disenfranchised, Graham grapples with the moral complexities of his unintended empire, seeking to dismantle the very system that enshrines him, in a desperate bid for societal redemption and true freedom.
