About this audiobook
Graham, an insomniac, succumbs to a drug-induced slumber, waking up two centuries later to discover he has unwittingly become the richest and most influential man in the world. The future, however, is bleak—a dystopian society where the elite oppress the masses under a pseudo-utopian facade. Thrust into the role of a messiah for the disenfranchised, Graham grapples with the moral complexities of his unintended empire, seeking to dismantle the very system that enshrines him, in a desperate bid for societal redemption and true freedom.
Herbert George Wells
Herbert George Wells (meist abgekürzt H. G. Wells; * 21. September 1866 in Bromley; † 13. August 1946 in London) war ein englischer Schriftsteller und Pionier der Science-Fiction-Literatur. Wells, der auch Historiker und Soziologe war, schrieb u. a. Bücher mit Millionenauflage wie Die Geschichte unserer Welt. Er hatte seine größten Erfolge mit den beiden Science-Fiction-Romanen (von ihm selbst als „scientific romances“ bezeichnet) Der Krieg der Welten und Die Zeitmaschine. Wells ist in Deutschland vor allem für seine Science-Fiction-Bücher bekannt, hat aber auch zahlreiche realistische Romane verfasst, die im englischen Sprachraum nach wie vor populär sind.
