Thanks for this post. I only recently finished reading “The War of the Worlds” myself. I’ve been catching up on H. G. Wells’ work as before that I read “The Invisible Man” and “The Time Machine.” All extraordinary work. These are books that make you think and touch on the heartstrings in ways that many modern books do not. As you say, Wells “looked inward and reflected.”
