The son of a humble shopkeeper, H G Wells can be justly credited as the father of modern Science Fiction. 'The Time Machine', first published in 1895, still sparkles with that originality and imaginative use of scientific theory which became the hallmark of 'War of the Worlds', 'The Invisible Man', and all the later writings of this literary mastermind.
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.
