H.G. Wells
These two novels by H.G. Wells present chilling visions of futures where civilization faces existential threats. In 'The War of the Worlds', a Martian invasion descends upon Earth, with metallic cylinders landing and tentacled invaders overwhelming London. Their advanced weaponry, including heat-rays and black gas, leaves humanity struggling for survival. 'The War in the Air' follows Bert Smallways, a young man fascinated by flying machines, who becomes entangled in a German plot to conquer America. The advent of aerial warfare signifies total conflict, the collapse of societal order, and the dimming of personal hopes.
