G. Wells is a scientific romance serialized from 1900 to 1901. When businessman Mr. Bedford meets eccentric scientist Mr. Cavor, they build a spacecraft using a gravity-blocking substance to reach the Moon in search of mineral wealth. There they discover a sophisticated underground civilization of insect-like creatures called Selenites, whose rigidly hierarchical society serves as sharp social satire. The adventure combines thrilling action with dystopian commentary on specialization and collectivism. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
