Tono-Bungay

Tono-Bungay is a satirical novel by H. G. Wells that tells the story of George Ponderevo, a young man who becomes involved in the creation and marketing of a miracle tonic that supposedly cures all ills.

As the business grows, George finds himself caught up in a web of deceit, greed, and corruption, and ultimately faces a moral reckoning.

Along the way, Wells explores themes of capitalism, social class, and the dangers of scientific advancement without ethical consideration.

The novel is a sharp critique of early 20th-century society and remains a thought-provoking read today.
