Overview

The genre of science fiction didn’t just spontaneously generate. It was brought to life through Frankenstein’s monster and morphed into being through the imagination and creative skills of Jules Verne, H. G. Wells and dozens of other authors, as well as their readers whose own lives and imaginations were sparked by their works. Here is a collection of eleven early classics, the equivalent of more than 2,000 printed pages tracing back many of science fiction’s biggest and most influential creations.

About the Author

H.G. Wells (1866–1946), born Herbert George Wells, was an English author known for not only his popular science fiction books but also works of social commentary, history and biography. His first novel, The Time Machine, was published in 1895. Socially progressive and visionary in intellect, H.G. Wells became one of the most prolific writers of his generation. Through books like The Invisible Man, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and War of the Worlds, Wells delved into a plethora of social, philosophical and political ideas through the medium of what we now call science fiction.
