One man's hell is another man’s heaven... In these two classic stories from the father of science fiction, H.G. Wells reveals two sides of the same coin: dystopia and utopia. The Sleeper Awakes What if you took a sleeping pill and awoke two centuries years later to find yourself the wealthiest man in the world? Everyone and everything you know is long gone ... but you are simultaneously the most exciting and most unfortunate thing to happen in centuries? Are you the Messiah or the Antichrist? Men Like Gods What if you took a mental health day, ready for some rest and relaxation, and suddenly found yourself in a different world? Journey with Mr. Barnstaple to Utopia to see what millennia of advancement can bring to the future. Here together in one volume are two seminal works that inspired George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and others. Afterword by Eric Flint.
