I don’t see evidence of a specific project here. There’s a vague tripod that indicates I was thinking of the War of the Worlds – probably. I might have been thinking of the tripods in John Christopher’s series. Probably not. I really liked the books when I read them as a kid but I tend to forget that I’ve read them. Wells’ machines have had a greater cultural impact even if his novel was less impacting on me than Christopher’s. (I remember being mostly bored by War of the Worlds when I read it as a kid.)
