About the author
Born in England in 1866, H. G. Wells became one of the defining writers of modern science fiction. He is best known for classics such as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, and The Island of Doctor Moreau.
Wells wrote with remarkable energy and range. Alongside his famous novels, he produced short stories, essays, and works on history and social thought, often using fiction to explore class, technology, evolution, and the future of society.
His influence has lasted far beyond his own time. Many of the ideas and story patterns that shape science fiction in books, film, and radio can be traced back to his work, which still feels vivid, unsettling, and imaginative today.
