Sleeper Awakes
When the Sleeper Wakes is an 1899 dystopian science fiction novel by English writer H. G. Wells, about a man who sleeps for 203 years and wakes up in a completely transformed late-21st-to-early-22nd-century London in which he has become the richest man in the world. The main character awakens to see his dreams realised, and the future revealed to him in all its horrors and malformities.
