The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. Wells

This novel is about a man who, by a series of incidences, is brought to an island where Dr. Moreau resides and is experimenting on animals. It is an interesting metaphor for the role that science plays in ethics and the act of 'playing god'. This question, of the importance of ethics, is even more relative to science in the present day. Written in the 1800's it is also a look at social classism and slavery. It is questioning humanism and power systems.
