Summary: "When the Sleeper Wakes" by H. G. Wells is a science fiction novel written during the late 19th century. It revolves around the protagonist, Graham, who awakens from a long, cataleptic sleep of over two centuries to discover a future radically different from the world he knew, complete with technological advancements and societal changes that boggle his mind. The narrative explores themes of societal structure, revolution, and the individual's place within a rapidly changing universe. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Graham, who initially suffers from insomnia before falling into a trance-like sleep for two hundred years. As he awakens, he grapples with the reality of a world that has evolved without him. His experience shifts from moments of despair and confusion as he interacts with various characters, including Howard, who serves as his guardian in this new society. The chaos surrounding his awakening as people clamour for his attention foreshadows the complexities and potential dangers of his newfound significance, setting the stage for an exploration of revolution and personal awakening amid the anxiety of modernity. This opening lays the groundwork for a compelling narrative that questions the future of humanity and the implications of progress. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
