"Filmer" by H.G. Wells is a gripping tale of ambition, obsession, and the ethical boundaries of scientific discovery. The story centers on Filmer, a brilliant but reclusive scientist who develops a method for human flight. Consumed by his desire to achieve greatness, he grapples with the moral implications of his invention and the societal pressures it attracts. As Filmer's dreams collide with reality, Wells delves into themes of isolation, hubris, and the cost of progress. The narrative explores the tension between personal aspirations and collective responsibility, questioning whether innovation should come at the expense of humanity. A thought-provoking blend of science fiction and psychological drama, "Filmer" reflects Wells's enduring fascination with the complexities of human ambition.
