The sleeping person wakes up | Herbert George Wells

The novel travels to the future to see the coming world that the 19th-century character or the English 19th-century human dreamed of, but it is a very different world from what he expected. The new reality is subject to the monopoly of a few who run the world through private companies, and they control governance, politics, economy, society, education, health, ideas, resources, and security, and hold military power. They impose their laws on people, especially business laws that determine their incomes, expenses, and ways of living. It is a society of work, eating, and sleeping; humans do not go beyond the boundaries of this triangle, not because they are unable to, but because they are domesticated to this lifestyle, and their material capabilities are robbed from them to keep them circling like mice on a wheel.
