 This is one of those classics that has transcended science fiction and even literature, it's a household name. And if you hadn't read it, let me tell you, there are plenty of other things that deserve your attention. All the movie and television and video game adaptations that we saw throughout the 20th century and even in recent years make it look like it's filled with monsters and battles and all sorts of amazing adventure, but it isn't. You've got your typical angry headstrong 19th century scientist slash explorer who bullies a couple of young relatives of his into following him on this long exploration through lava tunnels underground and the end. If you want good 19th century science fiction adventure, read just about anything else by Vern or better yet, HDULs. You can support 30 Seconds Sci-Fi and my other projects by becoming a patron.
