Socialism Means Revolution

In H. G. Wells’ novel ‘This Misery of Boots, ‘ the reader is taken on a journey exploring the societal impact of technology and industrialization during the late 19th century. Wells’ writing style is gripping and thought-provoking, blending elements of science fiction with social commentary. The book delves into the dehumanizing effects of progress and the struggles of the working class in a rapidly changing world, highlighting the disparities between the wealthy elite and the laboring masses. As one of Wells’ lesser-known works, ‘This Misery of Boots’ sheds light on a pivotal period in history and offers valuable insights into the human condition. H. G.
