The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth
By H. G. Wells
Length8h 31m
About this audiobook
When two scientists invent a substance that causes continuous growth, the result is a generation of giants who no longer fit into the world of ordinary men. As the "Children of the Food" rise, fear and prejudice drive the little people to declare war on the titans they created. This satirical catastrophe creates a powerful allegory for social change and the friction between tradition and radical progress.
