Life in the year 2100.
Graham is a man of his time, a radical, a pamphleteer and something of a prophet, a man in the 1890s pushing hard at the gates of the twentieth century. But he pushes himself too hard: he suffers from crippling insomnia, and when his body finally sinks into sleep he sleeps for two hundred years.
The world he wakes to is changed beyond all recognition. London has 33 million people, television, video, aeroplanes, a wealth of new technology. Slowly the truth is revealed to him, and an awesome responsibility falls on his shoulders. He is master of the world, owner of half of it, and both rulers and ruled in this totalitarian nightmare act in his name.
This is the most comprehensive edition available, with introduction, selected criticism, text summary and chronology of Well's life and times.
