Classic science fiction novels
Open this science fiction shelf for daring experiments, journeys beneath the earth and adventures on distant planets in Frankenstein, A Journey to the Centre of the Earth and The Warlord of Mars. Read a 15-minute summary or order a print edition at the cost of printing; the summary opening and first key idea are free.What makes these books worth reading is more than their inventions and adventures: they turn wonder into questions about power, progress, and our duties to one another. Start with Frankenstein if you want a gripping story with a human heart. Its questions about ambition and the care we owe what we create still feel close to home.
