The Invisible Man – H.G. Wells

"An invisible man can rule the world. Nobody will see him come, nobody will see him go."

Griffin, a brilliant scientist, discovers a way to make himself invisible but fails to find a way to reverse the process. Wrapped in bandages and wearing dark glasses, he takes refuge in a village inn. As his isolation and the side effects of his condition drive him to madness, he begins a reign of terror, planning to use his power to dominate others.

This novel is a gripping study of the corrupting nature of power without accountability. It explores the psychological toll of alienation and the danger of scientific ambition unchecked by moral responsibility.
