    <body><![CDATA[Characters and ideas in Wells novels have often become so iconic that it's difficult to distance oneself from the years of culture following a book such as The Invisible Man and read it fresh.<br/><br/>However, I was struck at the utter amorality of the eponymous Griffin, and how disturbing at times this could be. In the end the story could read as a luddite's charter - look at how terrible we could be made by changes in technology - but in fact Wells's warning is underlined by a clear love of the science involved, matched by a fear of humanity controlling it.]]></body>
