When the Sleeper Wakes

The narrative unfolds in a dystopian future where a man awakens from a long sleep to find a radically transformed society. Exploring themes of technology, class struggle, and the consequences of sleep and ignorance, the protagonist grapples with his new reality and the impact of his past choices. This reprint preserves the original 1899 edition’s insights into societal issues, making it a valuable read for those interested in early science fiction and its reflections on human nature and progress.
