What happens when science makes life grow beyond control?

The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth (1904), by H. G. Wells, is a daring tale of invention, chaos, and the unforeseen dangers of human ambition.

The story begins with two scientists who create a substance designed to accelerate growth. At first, it seems miraculous-plants flourish, animals expand, and human children grow to gigantic proportions. But as the effects spread, society faces terrifying consequences: cities shaken by monstrous creatures, governments powerless against forces they cannot control, and a world on the brink of transformation.

Blending biting satire with thrilling adventure, Wells explores themes of scientific responsibility, social upheaval, and the double-edged nature of progress. His vision of runaway discovery is both entertaining and eerily prophetic, foreshadowing debates that still shape science and ethics today.

The Food of the Gods is not only an imaginative science fiction novel but also a timeless warning about the power-and peril-of unchecked innovation.
