This could have been an interesting novel about cosmic rays from Mars affecting human behavior. Instead, it is a dull novel about three men talking about cosmic rays from Mars affecting human behavior.
That's right. Nothing ever really happens in the book; the characters only talk about it. And in the process, Mr. Wells presents his oft-repeated views of socialism couched in science-fiction. Only here, he unintentionally proves the folly of his own doctrines.
He upbraids mankind for following the crowd instead of thinking for themselves. Then he describes his version of an earthly paradise in which everyone will think exactly alike, and any who don't will be removed, even if it means murder, which Wells' character condones.
He ridicules the religious man's belief in sin, then goes on to lambaste all the actions he personally believes to be evil.
He promotes a new world order, while admitting that nothing less than an outside force acting upon humanity can make such a change possible.
Thus, while attempting to stamp out Christianity and replace it with the god of socialism, Wells only succeeds in proving the case for Christianity: that man without God is helpless to do right.
Perhaps the book is worth reading as a proof against Mr. Wells and his doctrines, but it's pretty dull stuff all the same.
