G. Wells is a scientific romance serialised from 1900 to 1901. Two Englishmen journey to the Moon using a gravity-defying substance called cavorite, hoping to find valuable minerals. Instead, they discover a sophisticated underground civilization of insect-like creatures called Selenites living beneath the lunar surface. What begins as an adventure story becomes a satirical exploration of extreme social specialization and hierarchical society, blending action with social criticism as the travelers face capture and separation in an alien world.
