When The Sleeper Wakes by H. G. Wells

Description

When the Sleeper Wakes is a book by H. G. Wells, first published in 1899. This classic dystopian science fiction novel follows a troubled Victorian man named Graham who mysteriously falls into a trance-like sleep and does not awaken for two centuries. When he finally opens his eyes, he discovers a transformed London — a vast, futuristic metropolis filled with towering structures, mechanised transport systems, mass entertainment screens, and deep social divisions. During his long sleep, Graham’s fortune has grown beyond imagination, and he now unknowingly owns the wealth of the world. That power has been exploited by shadowy trustees who rule society from behind the scenes. As the “Sleeper,” Graham becomes a reluctant symbol to the oppressed masses, who see him as the rightful owner of the future world. Drawn into political struggle and revolution, he must decide who to trust — including the enigmatic leader Ostrog — and whether he is willing to shape the destiny of humanity. Blending adventure with a sharp critique of society, When the Sleeper Wakes remains a compelling classic of futuristic fiction. Its exploration of class conflict, mass media, and political manipulation feels remarkably relevant, making it a powerful early example of dystopian storytelling.
