Description
Did H. G. Wells foresee World War One? Or was he just caught up in the frenzy over the recent invention of flying machines? With "The War in the Air" (1908) the frenzy around aircraft was at its peak. Wells simply couldn't help himself but buy into the future. Balloons, heavier flying machines, zeppelins, and many more soar freely throughout this novel, offering a somewhat sinister peek into what the future may hold. This remarkably progressive book tells the story of the world focusing mostly on Bert Smallways (a minimised Wells self-portrait) who is, rather accidentally it seems, thrown into the middle of the story. A fast-paced, compelling, and futuristic novel perfect for sci-fi and steampunk enthusiasts.
