A review by logarithms
The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
5.0
the story feels so nostalgic and familiar i can't not love it. an anti-colonization stance in one of the earliest scifi works just feels like a pillar of the whole genre
very big fan of books where the main character has no identity described directly. he's The Narrator and that's all we need to know
kinda funny (cool? epic?) that he wrote that humans developed flying machines thanks to martian tech, but this only speeds up progress 6 years since the wright brothers did that in 1903
sadly no takes on the reconciliation of extraterrestrial life and the belief in god (that def wouldve been interesting to read about from a victorian perspective)
once quarantine is over ill be grabbing a copy of this book from my local op and also hunting for the musical on vinyl (1978 wotw is one of my fave musicals to this day...)
