The World Set Free is a 1914 novel by H. G. Wells. A futuristic book that describes destructive weapons similar to nuclear ones, that would wipe out everything for miles. It is the latest of a series of three fantasias of possibility, stories which all turn on the possible developments in the future of some contemporary force or group of forces. The World Set Free was written under the immediate shadow of the Great War. Every intelligent person in the world felt that disaster was impending and knew no way of averting it, but few of us realized in the earlier half of 1914 how near the crash was to us. The reader will be amused to find that here it is put off until the year 1956. H. G. Wells had knowledge of atomic physics, and this book may have even influenced the development of nuclear weapons.
