The War in the Air: And Particularly How Mr. Bert Smallways Fared While It Lasted is a military science fiction novel written by H. G. Wells.

It is (like many of Wells's works) notable for its prophetic ideas, images, and concepts—particularly the use of aircraft for the purpose of warfare—as well as conceptualizing and anticipating events related to World War I.

They were the ones left behind. When the world ended, it didn’t come with fire or flood—it came with silence. The rich, the powerful, the useful—they vanished overnight, leaving behind the rest. Johnny, Beth, and a handful of others are the remainder. Not chosen. Not remembered. Just… still here.

“Webster defines a hero as a mythological or legendary hero of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability. That’s the first definition. There isn’t even an entry for super hero. Not yet. But even if there was one, it would probably be just as bad at informing one about exactly what makes a hero, about the bought lessons and brave daring which are requisites to be one of those individuals rare enough to know both the adoration and fear of the common man."
