A pioneering and forward-thinking novel which stands the test of time. Having studied the children’s version in school, I was keen to read this in full and it did not disappoint.

“They have become practically mere brains, wearing different bodies according to their needs just as men wear suits of clothes and take a bicycle in a hurry or an umbrella in the wet.”

“I was no longer a master, but an animal among the animals, under the Martian heel”

“This isn't a war," said the artilleryman. "It never was a war, any more than there's war between man and ants.”

“He had swept it out of existence, as it seemed, without any provocation, as a boy might crush an ant hill, in the mere wantonness of power.”
