Inspired by H. G. Wells's 1897 science-fiction novella Invisible Man, Wylie's 1931 book features a recluse named William Carpenter, who possesses the greatest scientific mind in the world. After developing a chemical compound that makes him invisible, Carpenter sets out to destroy his enemies and turn the nation into an "autocracy of science" and a beacon utopia.
