A Dream of Armageddon is a science fiction novella by H.G. Wells, first published in 1901. The story is set in the year 2100 and follows the dreams of a man named Laurier, who dreams of a future war that will destroy the world. The war is fought between the nations of Europe and Asia, and is triggered by a dispute over control of the world's dwindling supply of coal. Laurier's dream takes him through the horrors of the war, including the use of advanced weapons such as flying machines and poison gas. As the war rages on, Laurier realizes that he is not just a spectator, but a participant in the conflict. The story explores themes of war, technology, and the destructive power of human ambition. It is a cautionary tale that warns of the dangers of unchecked nationalism and militarism. Despite its age, A Dream of Armageddon remains a powerful and thought-provoking work of science fiction.I woke up, I say, because the girl had stopped fanning me. I was not surprised to find myself there or anything of that sort, you understand. I did not feel I had fallen into it suddenly. I simply took it up at that point. Whatever memory I had of this life, this nineteenth-century life, faded as I woke, vanished like a dream. I knew all about myself, knew that my name was no longer Cooper but Hedon, and all about my position in the world. I've forgotten a lot since I woke--there's a want of connection--but it was all quite clear and matter of fact then.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
