A Forgotten Classic,
By
This review is from: Star Begotten (Paperback)
Star Begotten: A Biological Fantasia is one of H.G. Wells' forgotten classics. In this novel a character hypothesizes that Martians ("Some of you may have read a book called The War of the Worlds - I forget who wrote it - Jules Verne, Conan Doyle, one of those fellows") are bombarding the earth with cosmic rays in order to create beneficial mutations. It is further hypothesized that these newly Martianized humans will bring about a libertarian socialist society through assassination and sabotage. However, "It would be anarchism, I suppose; it would mean 'back to chaos,' if it were not true that all sane minds released from individual motives and individual obsessions move in the same direction towards practically the same conclusion." I also highly recommend Men Like Gods.
