What this book is about
A scientist discovers how to make himself invisible—and discovers that the isolation and power of invisibility slowly unravels his mind. H.G. Wells's 1897 novella is a parable about the psychology of power without accountability; the invisible man becomes increasingly violent and megalomaniacal as the novel progresses.
