H.G. Wells' 'When The Sleeper Wakes' is a groundbreaking dystopian science fiction classic that explores the consequences of a world dominated by technology and capitalism. Written in Wells' signature prescient style, the novel depicts a future where the protagonist falls into a deep sleep only to wake up in a society ruled by a tyrannical oligarchy. The vivid imagery and futuristic concepts in the book mirror Wells' anxieties about the direction of modern society and the potential dangers of unchecked technological progress. The book serves as a cautionary tale about the excesses of power and the importance of individual agency in the face of oppression.
