Riassunto:
The War of the Worlds (1898), by H. G. Wells, is an early
science fiction novel which describes an invasion of England by
aliens from Mars. It is one of the earliest and best-known
depictions of an alien invasion of Earth, and has influenced
many others, as well as spawning several films, radio dramas,
comic book adaptations, and a television series based on the
story. The 1938 radio broadcast caused public outcry against
the episode, as many listeners believed that an actual Martian
invasion was in progress, a notable example of mass
hysteria.
