&lt;p&gt;The full title of this novel is &lt;i&gt;The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth&lt;/i&gt;. Published by &lt;a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-g-wells"&gt;H. G. Wells&lt;/a&gt; in 1904, it is a somewhat satirical look at society and how one invention or discovery could overturn its settled state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the early twentieth century, two scientists develop a substance to promote continuous grown in plants and animals. In testing it on poultry at an experimental farm, the “Food of the Gods” is carelessly scattered about, resulting in giant insects, giant rats and so on. When anxious parents give it to sickly children, it creates a race of giant humans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Though there are many touches of humor, the book ends on a much more serious and thoughtful note, and includes a warning against unchecked technology in the hands of capitalism. It also points out how easily a rabble-rousing politician can incite hatred towards those who are different.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The book has been used as the basis for a number of movies and comic books.&lt;/p&gt;

<meta property="se:production-notes">1) I have generally removed over-capitalisation of words in line with our policy, but there are some instances where that decision wasn’t a clear one and other producers may disagree. 2) There were several instances where Wells starts a new paragraph in the middle of a character’s speech after only a single sentence, or even after just a single word, in my opinion making reading the dialog very confusing. I have combined such short broken paragraphs into a single paragraph, in [Editorial] commits.</meta>
