Het voedsel der Goden en hoe het op Aarde kwam
by H. G. Wells
Translated by J. Kuylman
"Het voedsel der Goden en hoe het op Aarde kwam" by H. G. Wells is a science fiction novel published in 1904. When scientists create a substance that accelerates growth, they produce giant chickens as their first success. But the food escapes into the wild, creating enormous wasps, rats, and plants. Children who consume it grow into forty-foot giants. As these colossal beings reach maturity, society fractures between those who embrace growth and those who fear it, leading toward inevitable conflict.
