The Thinker's Library edition of this blueprint for a unified, scientifically planned world state. Duodecimo, original publisher's cloth with titles stamped in black. From the collection of British science fiction author Christopher Priest with his ownership signature to the front free endpaper and the previous ownership crossed out. Priest’s most famous works include The Inverted World (1974), the interconnected “Dream Archipelago” series, and The Prestige (1995), which was adapted into the 2006 Academy Award nominee film of the same name by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, and Michael Caine. Very good in a very good dust jacket.
H.G. Wells was a pioneering British writer and social thinker whose work helped define the genre of modern science fiction while engaging critically with the political and technological transformations of his time. Best known for novels such as The Time Machine (1895), The War of the Worlds (1898), and The Invisible Man (1897), Wells used speculative narratives to explore themes of evolution, imperialism, class conflict, and the ethical implications of scientific progress. 'What Are We to Do With Our Lives?' (1928) by H. G. Wells is a reflective social and philosophical work in which Wells considers the moral and practical challenges facing modern society in the aftermath of the First World War. Addressed particularly to younger generations, the book examines questions of personal purpose, education, marriage, work, and civic responsibility within a rapidly changing industrial and political landscape.
