The War of the Worlds is a classic science fiction novel by H.G. Wells, first published in 1898, that details a Martian invasion of Victorian England using advanced technology like heat rays and poisonous gas, exploring themes of imperialism, humanity's place in the cosmos, and the shock of an alien encounter. The story follows an unnamed narrator as he witnesses the destruction of civilization and struggles for survival against the technologically superior Martians, who are eventually defeated not by humans, but by Earth's bacteria.
