Summary

What if you slept for two centuries… and awoke as the ruler of the world?

In The Sleeper Awakes, H. G. Wells envisions a startling future where capitalism, media control, and class tyranny have reached terrifying extremes. When Graham, an ordinary man, falls into a coma in 1897, he wakes up two centuries later to discover he's not only alive—but the legal owner of the entire world economy.

But utopia is a lie. A corrupt oligarchy exploits his wealth and image to control the masses, and revolution brews beneath the surface. Graham must decide: remain a figurehead or risk everything for freedom?

💥 A brilliant dystopian novel far ahead of its time, The Sleeper Awakes explores mass surveillance, manipulation, and revolt. It's a chilling warning about the misuse of power—and a thrilling story of rebellion.
