'''''The Coming Race''''' (also known as '''''Vril: The Power of the Coming Race''''') is a novel published in 1870 by [[Edward Bulwer-Lytton]]. Its original title was ''Vril: The Power of the Coming Race''. The novel is an early example of [[science fiction]], sometimes cited as the first of this genre. However, many early readers believed that its account of a superior subterranean [[master race]] was accurate, to the extent that some [[theosophy| theosophists]] accepted the book as truth. |
