Very inventive

Published by Providence , 1 year ago
Considering when it was written, the author creates a futuristic society that appears good but has flaws like any other city. The inventions were interesting and the problems between the elite and the impoverished was depicted well. The sleeper's observation of what is going on around him is amusing because he is from a very different time. Good read.

when the sleeper wakes

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
When the Sleeper Wakes was a pretty good book. It was a little boring in some spots though. This wasn't one of H.G. Wells' better stories. I reccomend others like the Invisible Man or The War of the Worlds or The Time Machine.

When the Sleeper Wakes in The (Surprisingly) Powerful Influence of H.G. Wells on Modern Day America
The (Surprisingly) Powerful Influence of H.G. Wells on Modern Day America
Published by Beth Clark • September 21, 2018

A hundred years ago, novelist H.G. Wells predicted that science would be "king of the world." Titanic's Jack Dawson may take issue with that claim, but he’d have a tough time disputing the compelling influence Wells had on politics, society, and the future that extended far beyond the literary realm. Considering Wells is one the founding fathers of sci-fi (along with Jules Verne and Edgar Rice Burroughs) and the author of The Time Machine, The Invisible man, The Island of Dr. Moreau, and The War of the Worlds, that's saying something.
