"In exploring the Deleuzian concepts of ‘Becoming-Animal’ in The Island of Doctor Moreau, the ‘Body Without Organs’ in The War of the Worlds, and ‘Nomadology’ in The Time Machine, Starr’s study asserts itself at the forefront of current postmodern and poststructuralist approaches to Wells." - The Wellsian Journal of the H.G.
