Science fiction

The Truth About Pyecraft by H. G. Wells is a witty and satirical tale blending humor with social critique. The story follows Mr. Pyecraft, an overweight, indolent member of a gentleman’s club, who seeks a magical remedy for weight loss. He convinces the narrator, a skeptical man of Indian descent, to share an ancient family recipe. To Pyecraft’s dismay, the potion works too well—instead of losing weight, he becomes weightless, floating uncontrollably. The situation grows absurd as Pyecraft struggles to adapt, relying on weights and tethers to stay grounded. Wells uses this whimsical premise to mock vanity, indulgence, and colonial attitudes, while exploring themes of unintended consequences. A blend of comedy and sharp observation, The Truth About Pyecraft offers a lighthearted yet incisive commentary on human folly and societal pretensions.
