QR code
"Topsy-Turvy" by Jules Verne is an adventure novel published in 1889. The Baltimore Gun Club returns with an audacious plan: fire a massive cannon to shift Earth's axis, eliminating seasons and exposing valuable coal deposits at the North Pole. As panic spreads worldwide over catastrophic consequences, authorities race to stop the project. But has mathematician J.T. Maston's brilliant calculations ensured success, or will human fallibility doom this engineering marvel? Verne blends scientific
ambition with pointed irony about technology's potential for harm. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
