Sans dessus dessous by Jules Verne
"Sans dessus dessous" by Jules Verne is a science fiction novel published in 1889. Members of the Gun-Club from Baltimore, who previously attempted to send a projectile to the Moon, now plan to straighten Earth's axis of rotation using a massive cannon shot. Their goal is to access coal deposits in the Arctic regions. However, the project threatens catastrophic consequences: sea levels could shift by thousands of meters, potentially drowning entire continents
or elevating others to Himalayan heights. The scheme faces universal condemnation as populations weren't consulted about their fate. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
