  • The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
    Jun 25 2025

    In this episode, we dive headfirst into the foggy streets of Iping to unravel the mystery of one of literature’s most iconic antiheroes: the Invisible Man. H.G. Wells’ 1897 science fiction classic explores what happens when a brilliant but reckless scientist named Griffin discovers the secret to invisibility and loses his grip on morality in the process.

    In this episode, we’ll examine the novel’s core themes of power, isolation, and the dangers of unchecked ambition. What does Griffin’s descent into madness say about the cost of brilliance without conscience? How does invisibility act as both a literal and metaphorical device in the story? And why does Wells’ vision still resonate in our age of surveillance, anonymity, and scientific overreach?
