Cuando El Dormido Despierte...

Cuando el dormido despierte...

by H. G. Wells

The story follows a man who wakes up after two centuries of sleep to find himself in a radically altered London, a sprawling metropolis ruled by ruthless capitalism and a tyrannical government. He is shocked by the stark social disparities and the oppressive control wielded by the wealthy elite. This awakening presents him with the daunting task of navigating a world utterly foreign to him, where his past life holds no relevance and his wealth makes him a target of suspicion and intrigue. The novel delves into the complex interplay of wealth, power, and social control, examining the pitfalls of unchecked capitalism and the impact of technology on human society.
