About this listen
In a sprawling London of the 22nd century, the future isn’t a gleaming utopia—it’s a mechanized maze of conformity, class division, and mind control. H.G. Wells’ A Story of the Days to Come imagines a distant tomorrow shaped by technology and ruled by corporate trusts, where the human spirit struggles to endure beneath the weight of progress.
Denton and Elizabeth, two young lovers from the dwindling middle class, defy the forces that seek to control their fate—from hypnotists to housing syndicates—searching for something real in a world of artificial dreams. Their journey through futuristic mega-cities, creches, moving walkways, and psychological prisons is both a harrowing love story and a chilling prophecy of what may come.
First published in 1899, this visionary tale still resonates today, examining the delicate balance between innovation and humanity, freedom and system. Narrated with gravity and warmth by Brett Carter, Wells' speculative masterpiece is as hauntingly relevant now as it was over a century ago.
