The Sleeper Awakes (1910) is a dystopian novel by H. G. Wells about a man who sleeps for two hundred and three years, waking up in a completely transformed London, where, because of compound interest on his bank accounts, he has become the richest man in the world.

The novel is a rewritten version of When the Sleeper Wakes a story by Wells that was serialised between 1898 and 1899. Herbert George H. G.
