The World Set Free, a prophetic novel by H. G. Wells published in 1914, explores the implications of technological advancement and energy on human progress, focusing on the emergence of nuclear weapons. It presents a narrative that begins with the assertion that humanity's history is characterized by the pursuit of external power. Drawing on contemporary scientific understanding of radioactive elements, Wells weaves a cautionary tale about the vast potential and peril of harnessing this energy.
