この本について

Bedford, a bankrupt businessman hiding in the Kent countryside to write a play, meets Cavor, an absent-minded scientist who has invented cavorite, a substance that blocks gravity. In a sphere coated with it, the two fly to the Moon, where they find plants that grow in a single day and, under the surface, the insect-like Selenites with their vast, perfectly organised society. Bedford escapes home alone, and Cavor's later messages from the Moon close the book.

背景と意義

H. G. Wells published the novel in 1901, and its lunar society is as much a satire of human social engineering as an adventure. Mark F. Smith reads it alone, in about eight hours.
