Topsy-Turvy
When society flips, one unlikely hero must navigate upheaval, science, and the strange new order.
About this book
When the familiar rhythms of life tilt and commonplace certainties are rendered unreliable, Topsy-Turvy sweeps readers into an ingenious, upside-down world where invention, coincidence and human folly combine to spectacular effect. Jules Verne's brisk storytelling mixes scientific curiosity with wry social satire, following a lively cast of inventive, obstinate and sometimes hapless characters as they improvise solutions to absurd problems, confront the unintended fallout of bold experiments, and discover how fragile order can be. Equal parts rollicking adventure and thoughtful parable, this compact tale charms with clever set-pieces, moral nuance and a reminder that curiosity can both create marvels and invite chaos.
