Reading The Island of Dr. Moreau | Alexandria
Read The Island of Dr. Moreau by H. G. Wells. Probing humanity's darkest impulses, Wells' haunting tale transcends mere sci-fi horror to expose how thin our veneer of civilization truly is. By blurring lines between human and beast, it challenges our species' assumed moral superiority and asks: Are we really as evolved as we think? The shock comes in realizing we're still grappling with its central question about what makes us human.
