The Country of the Blind, and Other Stories by H. G. Wells ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

The Country of the Blind, and Other Stories by H. G. Wells audiobook.

Genre: scifi

H. G. Wells gathers a bracing selection of early science fiction and darkly imaginative tales in The Country of the Blind, and Other Stories. Moving from lonely mountains and strange hidden valleys to bustling cities where the future presses uncomfortably close, these stories introduce ordinary men and women confronted by extraordinary ideas: a traveler who stumbles upon an isolated society with its own unsettling logic, scientists and dreamers whose experiments slip beyond control, and observers who realize too late that human perception is both a gift and a trap. Wells writes with crisp wit and a reporter's eye for detail, grounding fantastic premises in everyday behavior and social tension. Across the collection, wonder and dread sit side by side as curiosity becomes obsession, progress threatens to erase compassion, and certainty crumbles under the weight of new evidence. At once eerie, satirical, and prophetic, these stories explore what happens when the world changes faster than the mind can adapt - and when the strangest discoveries turn out to be reflections of our own limits.
