(Original, Unabridged Classic, Premium Hardbound Collector's Edition, Ideal for Gifting)
H.G. Wells
"Perhaps to lose a sense of where you are implies the danger of losing a sense of who you are."
Griffin, an ambitious research scientist, discovers a process that renders physical matter invisible. He successfully performs the experiment on himself — and immediately discovers that invisibility, far from being a gift, is a trap. Unable to survive undetected, he becomes increasingly desperate, violent, and isolated, revealing that the real danger of his discovery was never the science itself but what it does to a mind already inclined toward cruelty.
Published in 1897, The Invisible Man is one of H.G. Wells's most focused and unsettling science fiction novels — a cautionary tale about the corrupting effects of unchecked knowledge and the dangerous seduction of power without responsibility. The Penguin Select Classics edition notes its particular resonance in an age of artificial intelligence: a story about what happens when science outpaces the wisdom to use it well.
This premium hardbound collector's edition with sprayed edges presents Wells's original, unabridged text — a perfect volume for collectors of classic and science fiction literature.
