This is H. G. Wells' 1910 dystopian novel, 'The Sleeper Awakes'. A man sleeps for 200 years and wakes up in a transformed London to find that, due to the compound interest of his bank account, he is the richest man in the world. However, with his wildest dreams also come his gravest nightmares. A fantastic science fiction novel from the father of the genre, 'The Sleeper Awakes' is highly recommended for those with a love of dystopian fiction and is not to be missed by fans of Wells' work. "The Father of Science Fiction" was also a staunch socialist, and his later works are increasingly political and didactic. Includes a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
