What happens when science pushes nature beyond its limits?
When two scientists, Mr. Bensington and Professor Redwood, develop a groundbreaking growth formula, they believe they are ushering in a new era of prosperity. Herakleophorbia IV—or the “Food of the Gods”—has the power to create enormous plants, livestock, and even humans. But their discovery quickly escapes their control, setting off a chain reaction of unintended consequences.
As giant creatures roam the countryside and children grow into towering, superhuman beings, society is thrown into chaos. Fear spreads among the masses, leading to violent conflicts between the “giants” and those who seek to suppress them. In this battle between progress and tradition, growth and fear, Wells crafts a thrilling and thought-provoking tale of scientific ambition, societal resistance, and the dangers of playing god.
Description
Food of the Gods by H.G. Wells is a fascinating blend of science fiction and social satire that explores the unintended consequences of scientific discovery.
When two ambitious scientists, Mr. Bensington and Professor Redwood, create a revolutionary growth formula known as Herakleophorbia IV, they intend to benefit humanity by producing larger crops and livestock. However, their experiments spiral out of control as the substance spreads beyond their control, resulting in giant plants, animals, and even humans. As society grapples with the emergence of colossal creatures and towering children, fear and conflict arise between the “giants” and the rest of humanity.
Originally published in 1904, Food of the Gods is a thought-provoking critique of unchecked scientific ambition, the fear of change, and society’s resistance to progress. With Wells’ signature wit and visionary storytelling, this novel remains a compelling exploration of human nature and the unpredictable consequences of playing god.
