A Dream of Armageddon (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169184404)

""A Dream of Armageddon"" is a science fiction short story written by H.G. Wells. The story is set in the future and follows the protagonist, a man who falls asleep and dreams of a catastrophic war that destroys the world. In his dream, he witnesses the destruction of cities and the death of millions of people. He also sees the rise of a new world order, where a small group of people control the remaining population. The dream ends with the protagonist waking up, but he is left with a sense of unease and a feeling that the events he witnessed may one day become a reality. The story explores themes of war, power, and the consequences of human actions. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the importance of working towards a peaceful future.""I woke up, I say, because the girl had stopped fanning me. I was not surprised to find myself there or anything of that sort, you understand. I did not feel I had fallen into it suddenly. I simply took it up at that point. Whatever memory I had of this life, this nineteenth-century life, faded as I woke, vanished like a dream. I knew all about myself, knew that my name was no longer Cooper but Hedon, and all about my position in the world. I've forgotten a lot since I woke--there's a want of connection--but it was all quite clear and matter of fact then.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
