the Invisible Man is a science fiction novella by H. G Wells. Originally serialized in Pearson's weekly in 1897, It was published as a novel The same year. The Invisible Man of the title is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into Optics and invents a way to change a body's refractive index to that of air so that it absorbs and reflects no light and thus becomes invisible. He successfully carries out this procedure on himself, but fails in his attempt to reverse it.

H. G Wells

Born in Bromley in Kent, England, Herbert George “H. G.” Wells (1866-1946) has been called the father of science fiction. His most notable works include the War of the Worlds (1897), the Time Machine (1895), the Invisible Man (1897), and the Island of Doctor Moreau (1896). Wells also wrote on topics related to history and social commentary and was involved in politics for much of his life. Novels like Kipps and the History of Mr. Polly, which describe lower-middle-class life, led to the suggestion that he was a worthy successor to Charles Dickens. After living through two World Wars and seeing Orson Welles’ broadcast of the War of the Worlds strike panic in listeners, Wells died in London on August 13, 1946. The Invisible Man remains a remarkable work of science fiction, revealing the destructive effects science can have on humanity.
