About the author
Born in England in 1866, H. G. Wells grew up in modest circumstances and later studied science under T. H. Huxley. That scientific training stayed with him, giving his fiction a sharp, modern edge even when he was writing about impossible things.
He became one of the most influential writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries through novels such as The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds. Although he is often remembered as a father of science fiction, he also wrote social novels, history, political commentary, and essays, using imaginative stories to explore inequality, evolution, war, and the risks of unchecked ambition.
Wells remained a major public intellectual throughout his life and died in 1946. His work still feels lively because it combines big ideas with clear storytelling, making him an author who is both easy to read and endlessly thought-provoking.
