The War of the Worlds

Set in the late 19th century, the narrative unfolds as humanity remains blissfully unaware of the impending threat from advanced extraterrestrial intelligences observing Earth. While people engage in their daily lives, these alien minds, far superior yet indifferent, scrutinize humanity with a predatory gaze. The story reflects on the naivety of human beliefs regarding life beyond Earth, ultimately leading to a profound disillusionment as the true nature of the universe is revealed in the early 20th century.
