Although categorised under Scientific Romance when first published, The First Men in the Moon has been attributed as the first alien dystopia. It was first published as a serial in The Strand Magazine from December 1900 to August 1901 and published in book form later that year. Like much of Wells’ work, the story had a huge impact, inspiring countless books, films and named a direct inspiration to C.S. Lewis and his Space Trilogy.
