First published in 1898, The War of the Worlds shattered the idea that humanity sat safely at the top of the natural order. H. G. Wells’s Martian invasion isn’t just science fiction — it’s a brutal examination of empire, survival, and what happens when the rules suddenly stop favouring us.
This TritonLit edition makes the novel clear and accessible without dulling its impact. Chapter-by-chapter summaries, historical context, and focused analysis help readers track the narrative, understand its ideas, and see why the novel still resonates in an age of global anxiety, technological fear, and collapse narratives.
