La guerra de los mundos

The War of the Worlds narrates, for the first time in the history of literature, a theme that would become recurrent and give rise to an entire subgenre within science fiction: the invasion of Earth by extraterrestrials from Mars. Through this fable, in which scientific descriptions, premonitions about the future of technology, and the intricacies of politics play a central role, H. G. Wells speaks to us about the vanity and illusory security of a self-satisfied humanity, and the dangers that threaten its survival.
