This is /not/ a novel telling the same story as the film.
This is a textbook from the year 2106 or so, copied manually when seen in a series of dreams, and edited.
And it reads like a textbook.
That said, the film was clearly based on it, taking a different approach to the topic. Oh, and ending at the start of the final revolt.
The future portrayed is … fascinating. Well's picture of WWII is both uncannily similar to the real thing and quite different.
The history after that is one of collapse followed by reconstruction. Readers of other books by Wells may have no problems recognizing the ideas used.
