H.G. Wells again forecasts terrible things for the future, in this case centered on one man, a scientist, and his lack of true compassion and his self-centered egotism.

Do ethics have a place in science and scientific inquiry? Where does Man fit in with the life forms on the Earth? Can a man create as a god without terrible consequences? These are some of the ideas that Wells explores.

To me this was a horror story. This is the second HG Wells I've read in a row, and I need a break from him for a while. He is an excellent writer, but like Stephen King sometimes his horror is too close to reality. We know today men who put their own selves above ethics and above common humanity, without sympathy, empathy or compassion.

A true classic.
