Published in 1914, on the eve of the First World War, Wells's novel imagines scientists unlocking the energy of radioactive elements and a world war fought with \"atomic bombs\", a term Wells coined. From the ruins, humanity builds a single world government. The physicist Leo Szilard later credited the book with shaping his thinking about the nuclear chain reaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout this leather-bound edition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach copy is bound by hand in genuine leather over sturdy boards, with decorative tooling and gold-tone foil lettering on the spine. Natural variation in grain, shade and foil impression is part of the character of every handmade book, so no two copies are exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title.
