Autor

Herbert George Wells, known as H.G. Wells, was a prolific English writer born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent. He is best remembered for his remarkable contributions to the science fiction genre, his works heralding the advent of futuristic themes that would captivate generations. Wells's education at the Normal School of Science (now Imperial College, London), under the tutelage of T.H. Huxley, profoundly influenced his literary output. This is evident in the scientific plausibility infused in his narratives. Wells's foresight and ingenuity are encapsulated in his famous novels such as 'The Time Machine' (1895), 'The War of the Worlds' (1898), and 'The Invisible Man' (1897), all of which are crucial components of 'The Greatest Sci-Fi Novels of H.G. Wells' collection. These seminal works not only explore the possibilities of scientific innovation but also delve into the social and moral implications of such advancements. Wells's writing is characterized by its clarity, prescient ideas, and engaging storytelling, transcending mere entertainment to provoke thoughtful reflections on human nature and society. His style and themes have earned him the title of 'The Father of Science Fiction', alongside contemporaries Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. Wells was also a forward-thinking social commentator, embracing such issues in his prolific output of both fiction and non-fiction works. He passed away on August 13, 1946, but left behind a legacy cherished by scholars, readers, and writers alike, cementing his status as a luminary of early science fiction literature.
