Reading Facing the Flag | Alexandria
Read Facing the Flag by Jules Verne. Weaponizing brilliance for destruction, Facing the Flag explores a genius inventor who creates a devastating explosive capable of annihilating nations. Verne's prescient 1896 thriller eerily foresaw modern concerns about scientific ethics and WMDs. The twist? The scientist's apparent madness actually masks a deeper sanity - he sees technology's dark potential before others do.
