Summary

What if you fell asleep in one century and woke up the wealthiest man in the next?

Graham, a wealthy young man, succumbs to a mysterious illness only to awaken two hundred and three years later in a technologically advanced, yet deeply oppressive, 22nd-century London. H. G. Wells, the visionary author, crafts a prophetic and chillingly relevant tale of dystopian future shock. Feel the wonder of massive moving sidewalks and climate control, swiftly replaced by the shock and thrill of realizing that humanity has been segregated into a rigid, controlled system where the masses toil and he, the 'Sleeper,' is a revered, yet powerless, figurehead. This powerful novel is a searing social critique wrapped in a gripping adventure, exploring themes of exploitation, mass media, and the dangers of unchecked capitalism.

Cited by critics as one of the earliest and most influential dystopian novels, The Sleeper Awakes is a foundational text in the H. G. Wells collection that influenced countless stories of future societies.

    A Punk Rock Love Story of Resistance, Revolution, and Resilience in a Dystopian Future
 

 
In Sink Or Burn, the year is 2121, and fascism has overthrown a once-thriving utopia. Amid the ashes of a fallen nation, Cheap Glitter—a queer, punk rock band—becomes the voice of resistance. As they tour across a fractured America, raising funds for the fight against a brutal regime, they navigate wildfires, sunken landscapes, and the terrifying laws of a collapsing society.
 

 
At the heart of their journey is CT, a lovelorn survivor whose romantic entanglement with a fellow bandmate—a survivor of a different war—complicates their quest for both personal healing and social revolution. As the band balances the weight of trauma with the urgency of their fight, they discover that love, however chaotic, may be their greatest weapon.
 

 
A punk rock anthem and a manifesto for the broken-hearted, Sink Or Burn tells the story of a tortured artist’s evolution into a divine healer. Cristy Road Carrera, a punk rock icon and Latinx artist, weaves together individual survival with the broader struggle for liberation.

    The Day the Monsters Broke Loose by Robert Silverberg - People were trampled underfoot, people were crunched by ten-foot teeth in huge, fanged jaws - people died by the hundreds that day were eaten like tidbits! 
Next week they'll be holding the Big Show, the Spectacular of Spectaculars, in Chicago. 150,000 people will be packed into Soldier Field to watch a couple of alien monsters rip each other to shreds. 
Well, I'm not going to be there, for once. I'm going to be a couple of thousand miles away, in Los Angeles, sitting in a little bar off Wilshire where they don't have video, and I'll be guzzling synthoscotch and trying to forget all about my part in next week's show. 
I'm the guy who caught the creatures that are going to perform next Fiveday night. I'm Jim Barstow of Barstow Eхpediters, Incorporated. We Bring 'em Back Alive is our motto, shamefully stolen from a great hunter of a couple of centuries ago, and right up until our last trip we were considered the top outfit in our line. But now I want to sell my share and get out of the filthy business while I still have a little piece of my soul left. 
We made our first trip to World Twelve of Star System DA-7116 exactly two years ago. Herschel, my booking agent, gave me a buzz on the telestat one morning and said he had landed a fat contract for us. Barstow Expediters happened to be between jobs at the moment, and I was enjoying the pleasant layoff, but I obediently came shuttling across the country to New York for the contract interview. 
We were being hired by J. Franklin Magnus of Magnus Promotions-the number one spectacle-producer of the twenty-second century. Magnus was famous for the way he threw. money around. I flew to New York determined to soak him for all he would part with.
