The Sleeper Awakes
The Sleeper Awakes | H.G. Wells
The Sleeper Awakes is H. G. Wells's wildly imaginative story of London in the twenty-second century and the man who by accident becomes owner and master of the world. In 1897 a Victorian gentleman falls into a sleep from which he cannot be waked. During his two centuries of slumber he becomes the Sleeper, the most well known and powerful person in the world. All property is bequeathed to the Sleeper to be administered by a Council on his behalf. The common people, increasingly oppressed, view the Sleeper as a mythical liberator whose awakening will free them from misery. The Sleeper awakes in 2100 to a futuristic London adorned with wondrous technological trappings yet staggering under social injustice and escalating unrest. His awakening sends shock waves throughout London, from the highest meetings of the Council to the workers laboring in factories in the bowels of the city. Daring rescues and villainous treachery abound as workers and capitalists fight desperately for control of the Sleeper.

Wow, I did not know what a big influence this book had. For example on Brave New World or 1984. So why haven't I heard about this book before accidentally coming across this audio book on Scribd? Happily, I could close this gap in knowledge now!

I‘m attempting a new morning routine. It starts with meditation via the Headspace app, then read an issue from the Serial Reader while listening to some relaxing music on Spotify.

MayJasper I hope it brings you joy 7y

Hell's bells, I love @SerialReader! I've finished The Haunted Hotel, I'm a little over two thirds through Dracula, and I'm a few issues into The Sleeper Awakes 👌📚

Well this was fun to wake up to this morning!!! 🎉😀And so much nicer than all the beeps of the group text that woke me up at 4:00 AM on a Sunday. (Yes, after 15 1/2 years my siblings still forget the time difference 😬 Grrr...) Anyway, I just wanted to say a big MAHALO to all of you for your friendship and community and for making Litsy such a great and positive place to geek out over books and bookish things. You are all the best! ❤️📚❤️📚❤️
