Surrey and "london"[edit]

Surrey is part of London. Parts of surrey are London boroughs (e.g. Kingston-upon-Thames, or Richmond) so why treat them as if they are different somehow. Yes the county extends beyond the London suburbs but it still forms a part of London .. not a separate area outside it. 82.4.80.121 (talk)

The two counties were separate back in Victorian times when this book was written, Kingston and Richmond only became part of London in 1965. Thameslinkrail (talk) 06:29, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Add[edit]

Let's add a summary about this book! Ester Dana (talk) 19:37, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

AGF, but what part of the plot doesn't already do that? Chaheel Riens (talk) 20:24, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Scientific predictions and accuracy[edit]

No mention of the Martians' over use of their own planet's resources and the comparison to our own current environmental issues and rampant consumerism? Surely this must have been mentioned in papers and articles somewhere? 209.93.17.230 (talk) 22:25, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
