'The Prospero of all the brave new worlds of the mind, and the Shakespeare of science fiction' – Brian Aldiss
When Orson Welles broadcast a radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds in 1938, it caused panic as listeners feared aliens might really have invaded. In the book, by contrast, people saw the site where the aliens crashed as a tourist attraction and Londoners were oblivious to danger until train services stopped working. But when the creatures assemble massive weapons of death, humanity is transformed from being the proud rulers of Earth to seemingly helpless prey.
