Book Summary 
The First Men in the Moon (1901) is a pioneering science fiction novel by H.G. Wells that tells the story of two unlikely companions—Mr. Bedford, a businessman, and Mr. Cavor, a brilliant but eccentric scientist—who journey to the Moon using a spacecraft powered by a gravity-defying substance called Cavorite. Upon arrival, they discover an advanced alien civilization of insect-like beings called Selenites living beneath the Moon's surface. The narrative explores themes of exploration, colonialism, human greed, and the clash of civilizations. As the protagonists face capture, escape, and moral dilemmas, the novel combines scientific speculation with social commentary, establishing Wells as a visionary of early science fiction.
