Tales of Space and Time

H. G. Wells

Sinossi

"Between the stars and the stone, lies the story of us."

In this seminal collection, H.G. Wells—the "Father of Science Fiction"—takes readers on a journey across the spectrum of existence. From the primitive struggles of our ancestors in "A Story of the Stone Age" to the dystopian urban sprawl of "A Story of the Days to Come," Wells explores how environment and technology shape the human spirit. Featuring the chilling cosmic disaster of "The Star" and the mysterious Martian surveillance in "The Crystal Egg," these five stories serve as a profound meditation on humanity's fragile place in a vast, indifferent universe.

The Origins of Mystery: In "The Crystal Egg," Wells returns to the themes of The War of the Worlds, suggesting that even as we go about our daily lives, we are being watched from across the void. In "The Star," he delivers one of the most powerful descriptions of a global cataclysm ever written, showing how a passing celestial body could rewrite the geography of Earth and the humility of man.

The Future of the Machine: In the novella-length "A Story of the Days to Come," Wells predicts a world of moving sidewalks, synthesized food, and a rigid social hierarchy where the wealthy live in the sun and the poor toil in the subterranean depths. This vision of a "megacity" served as the direct inspiration for later masterpieces like Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

A Struggle for Survival: Wells reminds us that whether we are fighting a cave lion with a flint axe or battling a corporate monopoly in the year 2100, the core of the human experience remains the same: the drive to survive, to love, and to transcend our limitations.

Evolution of Modern Mathematics...

Editors Charles River

In the last 50 years, life has been simplified by the awe-inspiring advancements that have been achieved in the world of computer science and technology. In 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak unveiled the Apple I, the first-ever computer that operated on a single-circuit board, just five years after a team of IBM engineers introduced the “floppy disk,” which revolutionized data-sharing. In 1981, the first personal computer – IBM's Acorn – equipped with an optional color monitor, two floppy disks, and an intel chip was rolled out to the masses, and the dynamic evolution of the World Wide Web soon followed. 
Today, the world is in the midst of the transformative and ever-developing Digital Age, otherwise referred to as the “Age of Information.” It has been an unprecedented, remarkable, and explosive era marked by social media and computer-generated imagery (and with it, deep fakes), among other novel, previously unimaginable concepts. The bulky monitors and blocky towers of personal computers and laptops, which were once upon a time considered fashionable, futuristic contraptions, have since been replaced with a sleek and stylish array – both multi-functional and specialized – of aerodynamic, minimalistic devices, ranging from smartphones and tablets to lightweight laptops and full-fledged gaming set-ups packed with powerhouse processors. 
This new age was brought forth in large measure by the different works of scientists and mathematicians spanning several centuries, from Blaise Pascal's work on calculators to Charles Babbage's Difference Engine and Alan Turing's groundbreaking cryptography work.
