What this book is about

H.G. Wells's 1898 science fiction novel follows an unnamed narrator in suburban England as Martian cylinders begin landing and their occupants deploy devastating heat rays and poison gas against humanity. Wells's novel is a foundational text of science fiction — the alien invasion story that all subsequent ones respond to — and also a pointed commentary on British imperialism (the Martians do to England what England did to others).
