Summary

La Tierra ha sido invadida por alienígenas, y los marcianos, con su tecnología superior, arrasan Londres y sus alrededores, sembrando muerte y destrucción allí por donde pasan. La adaptación radiofónica que Orson Welles hizo de esta novela en 1938 provocó que el público, aún desconocedor de la ficción televisiva, creyera que realmente se estaba produciendo una invasión extra- terrestre y desató una gran alarma social. Este ejemplo temprano del poder de los medios de comunicación de masas fue la primera de un sinfín de adaptaciones y reinterpretaciones que han alimentado el imaginario de lo que hoy entendemos como ciencia ficción y han encumbrado a H. G. Wells como uno de los padres del género.

The earth has been invaded by aliens, and the Martians, with their superior technology, devastate London and its surroundings, sowing death and destruction wherever they go. The radio adaptation that Orson Welles made of this novel in 1938 caused the public, still unaware of television fiction, to believe that an extraterrestrial invasion was really taking place and unleashed great social alarm. This early example of the power of mass media was the first of countless adaptations and reinterpretations that have fed the imagination of what we understand today as science fiction and have elevated H. G. Wells as one of the most well-known names of the genre.
