this one segment, wells and the one man last standing, is truly terrifying. I remember getting a tape of this when i was a kid from the library, the two world views, one man trying to survive and the other who is frightened into (subconsciously) selling out his humanity in order to go on living. even though this is from 1938 it is miles above most creative work done today - and just as chilling to listen to.
Note that Welles, as "Professor Pierson", tries to change the date of the "invasion" to "October 20th" [instead of October 30th, the night of the broadcast] at :41- no matter. Enough people had heard the broadcast by now, and had alerted friends and neighbors (and strangers) that "the end of the world" was coming...70 years later, it's still amazing that ONE radio production could affect so many people, and cause panic, fear, and hysteria to an audience of millions...
@fromthesidelines I was thinking, maybe he changed the date, cuze since this is a story. He was explaining a year after the "aliens" visited and those people he was talking with where people that survived. Like it was the 30th then, but now it's a year later and it's the 20th. Idk, that's what I thought at first.

"All that's happend before the arrival of these - monsterous creatures from another world seems part of another life."
Thats an amazing quote, cause if aliens ever touch down on earth, it would change everything.

His description excluding the aliens sounds kinda like Fallout 3

This portrayal of 'the man with the plan' is classic. Wells certainly had his animal pegged.
