What would you do if you became invisible? In this curious tale, readers are presented with how a man who loses sight of his self, loses sight of himself. The story was rather short, but the characters and events are described in such a way to deliver the despicable things a man went through and did as the unseen.

This book is beautifully plotted and most real like a science fiction can be. Those who love science and respect it should definitely read the book. This book teaches us the main reason science lacks behind to develop at it's ideal rate, IT IS JUST INCREDIBLE. It costed free to me last summer (2020), and now it is costing Rs 64, that's quite not fair because this book is a masterpiece! It was the first book I read and it is till now the Best book I have read, many-a-times people think this book is about the 'misinventions' of science i.e. the science that cause destruction. But to me, this book is about the life of a Scientist. A vulnerably desperate scientist, who suffered the uneven suffering no human can tolerate, it were these events which led to the creation of a human monster. And read them creates pity in one's mind who respects science, scientists and inventions. 'Some human places create Inhumane monster' -- Stephen King This line fits well. (Some spoilers ahead 🤷🏻‍♂️ ) First he has to leave the institute because of fear of his research being stolen, then his landlord suspecting him and threatening him and him roaming out with no money in hand and all these things contributed in Making of the Monster..... Although I don't deny the fact that his behavior and and personality does contributed a major part in his 'inhumanity' but I believe getting short tempered and all these things was quite natural after you have made something invaluable and other people just don't like it, nay, fear it.
