Publisher's Synopsis
The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth is a provocative and imaginative science fiction novel by H. G. Wells that examines the consequences of unchecked scientific experimentation. When two scientists develop a substance that accelerates the growth of living organisms, they unwittingly unleash a world where animals, plants, and humans grow to enormous sizes. As society grapples with the chaos caused by these giants, Wells explores the ethical, social, and environmental implications of their presence. With its sharp critique of scientific hubris and its thrilling narrative, The Food of the Gods offers a fascinating blend of speculative fiction and cautionary tale. Wells raises important questions about humanity's role in shaping the future and the potential dangers of playing with nature's laws.
