The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth - Classic Sci-Fi by H.G. Wells | Complete Audiobook

"The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth" is a science fiction novel by H.G. Wells, first published in 1904. The story explores the discovery of a miraculous substance called Herakleophorbia, or "Boomfood," which causes any living creature that consumes it to grow to enormous proportions.
The narrative begins with two scientists, Mr. Bensington and Professor Redwood, who create Boomfood while researching growth processes. Their initial experiments on chickens yield spectacular results, leading them to test the substance on humans. This decision sets off a series of unintended and often catastrophic consequences.
As Boomfood spreads, it leads to the birth of gigantic children, who struggle to fit into a world not designed for their size. The growth of these "giant" children poses societal challenges, and they eventually face prejudice and fear from regular-sized humans. Tensions rise as the giants' existence disrupts social order, leading to conflicts between the giants and the rest of humanity.
Throughout the novel, Wells delves into themes of scientific responsibility, the ethical implications of unchecked experimentation, and the societal impact of rapid and uncontrolled change. The story serves as a critique of the era's scientific hubris and the unforeseen consequences of technological advancement.
"The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth" remains a thought-provoking tale, highlighting the potential dangers of scientific experimentation and the ethical dilemmas that come with innovation. Wells' imaginative storytelling and exploration of societal issues continue to resonate with readers, making it a timeless piece of speculative fiction.

Reader showing exceptional love for this book, really can't read fast enough, trying to get it all in even sooner than possible......tried play back at 75% but then you hear a complete lack of emotion. Sorry to demean your effort or lack of. I don't understand why you're going through with it, is it possible someone has a gun to your head or holding your family hostage.
