About the Author

Herbert George Wells, better known as H. G. Wells, was an
English writer best known for such science fiction novels as The
Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man and The
Island of Doctor Moreau. He was a prolific writer of both fiction
and non-fiction, and produced works in many different genres,
including contemporary novels, history, and social commentary. He
was also an outspoken socialist. His later works become
increasingly political and didactic, and only his early science
fiction novels are widely read today. Wells, along with Hugo
Gernsback and Jules Verne, is sometimes referred to as "The Father
of Science Fiction".
