Three thrilling and thoughtful works of science fiction from a literary giant. From one of the great writers and thinkers of the modern era, this volume includes three brilliant novels. The War in the Air: Filled with petrol-powered war machines, ironclads, bombardments, and espionage, this novel, a cornerstone of early science fiction, prophesied methods of warfare that would only develop later in the twentieth century. The Sleeper Awakes: After falling into a drug-induced sleep in 1897 London, a man is stunned to wake in the year 2100 to a world he does not know-but this world knows him-in this prophetic, unsettling novel about technology and humanity. The Time Machine: A scientist journeys hundreds of thousands of years into the future to discover how humanity has evolved-and while Earth may seem radically different on the surface, some things have remained the same . . . belowground.
