The Master of the World
ByPublisher Description
"The Master of the World" is a novel written by Jules Verne, first published in 1904. It's one of the lesser-known works by the renowned French author, but it's still considered a classic of science fiction literature. The story follows a series of mysterious events surrounding the appearance of a powerful, seemingly indestructible machine known as "The Terror." This machine can travel on land, sea, and air, and its actions threaten to destabilize the world.
The protagonist, John Strock, a federal agent, is tasked with uncovering the identity of the mastermind behind the machine and putting an end to its reign of terror. As Strock delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a network of intrigue and discovers the true intentions of the machine's creator.
"The Master of the World" explores themes such as technological advancement, the dangers of unchecked power, and the responsibility of individuals and society to ensure the ethical use of technology. While not as well-known as some of Verne's other works, such as "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" or "Journey to the Center of the Earth," it still showcases Verne's talent for crafting imaginative and thought-provoking science fiction narratives.
