WHEN THE SLEEPER WAKES
HERBERT GEORGE WELLS
"One of the first novels to feature someone who travelled far into the future, the story centres around the character of Graham, a man who fell asleep in 1897 and awoke two centuries later as both the richest man in the world and an almost mythical figure only known as 'The Sleeper.' It soon becomes clear that the society he has arrived in is a dystopian one, as factions fight over his support while the ordinary man languishes in squalor."--Page 8
