When the Sleeper Wakes Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

Graham, an 1890s radical pamphleteer, was a young man when he finally resorted to medicine for his sleeplessness and fell into a deep sleep. He wakes two hundred years later, still youthful, to an age group of great marvels and scientific achievement-and a global whose strange root economy is that it’s all his personal house. By inheritance as well as the compounding of interest, Graham the Sleeper is among the most singular, last owner of everything and it is revered being a leader, with a council that dictates to the world in his name.

This science fiction classic was called by Wells himself “one of the most ambitious of my books.” A stirringly prophetic book, it envisioned traveling, advertising, television, banking, labor corporation, and totalitarianism, all inside the construction of an exciting personal adventure tale.
