| Description: |
|
In 1933 a scientist call Holsten discovered artificial redioactivity: by 1953 this new form of energy had revolutionised transport and industry, and by 1956 the world was devastated by an atomic war ...
This was the grim future that Wells envisaged in 1913, and his vision has proven uncanniliy accurate, although the final catastrophy has not come about. This book is a classic and relevant in a world still living under nuclear threats. |
