Show Notes

Wells was a forward-looking, even prophetic social critic who devoted his literary talents to the development of a progressive vision on a global scale. A futurist, he wrote a number of utopian works and foresaw the advent of aircraft, tanks, space travel, nuclear weapons, satellite television and something resembling the World Wide Web. His science fiction imagined time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, and biological engineering. He is sometimes referred to as the "Shakespeare of science fiction". This story tells about a journey to the ‘4th dimension’ in true, creepy Wells style. This image is known at the Plattner Tadpole. I hope you enjoy “The Plattner Story”
