Sinopse

A man sleeps for two centuries… and wakes to a world he never imagined.
Graham, an ordinary man from Victorian England, falls into a mysterious, decades-long sleep—only to awaken in the year 2100. To his astonishment, his name is legendary and his wealth has multiplied beyond imagination, making him the richest man on Earth. But with unimaginable power comes dangerous enemies.

In The Sleeper Awakes, H. G. Wells crafts a gripping tale of technological marvels, mass media manipulation, and political revolution. What begins as wonder soon turns to peril, as Graham is drawn into a battle for freedom against a totalitarian regime that rules the future.

First published in 1910, this novel is an eerily prophetic look at consumerism, class struggle, and the power of information—decades ahead of its time.

"A chillingly accurate vision of the future's social and political conflicts."
– The Guardian

"Wells at his most prophetic—unsettling, thrilling, and deeply thought-provoking."
– The New York Times
