The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth
De H. G. Wells
Duração8h 32m
Sobre este audiolivro
The world is forever altered when a scientific breakthrough creates a food that triggers giantism in every living thing it touches. As massive plants and towering humans disrupt the natural order, the "little people" of the old world respond with violent desperation to maintain their dominance. It is a powerful allegory for the friction between the status quo and the unstoppable force of evolutionary progress.
