A classic and hugely influential novel, the one that birthed the alien invasion genre. It doesn’t focus on grand battles between humanity and extraterrestrials or brilliant scientists saving the day. Instead, we follow an ordinary man trying to survive and make sense of the chaos around him. Even wondering about our place in the universe.
Written at the end of the 19th century, it can feel a bit dated at times, especially compared to the complexity of modern sci-fi. Still, it remains a worthwhile read.
I picked up this book during a trip to London, where the story is set, and it was nice to read about places I had walked through myself.
