Tono-Bungay

Maybe the best H.G. Wells' incursion outside his mother ship of science fiction, Tono-Bungay is the tale of a useless and addictive medicine embellished by an early form of marketing. However, behind the major plot, it hides an interesting criticism of a capitalist society, where everyone works and lives without a purpose, especially the upper class.
Although it turned out to be very different from what I imagined, focusing much more on the foundations of the English Society rather than in the development of the Tono-Bungay and the characters, it is an interesting and recommended read.
