About the author

H. G. Wells, born Herbert George Wells on September 21, 1866, in Kent, England, stands as one of the pioneers of science fiction literature. An insightful author whose narratives often delved into the futuristic and extraordinary, Wells harnessed his profound understanding of social commentary and scientific prediction to produce works that exceeded the boundaries of his time. His early academic encounters with biology and Darwin’s theories under the tutelage of Thomas Huxley left an indelible impact on his literary fabric. Wells’s fascination with the possibilities of time travel and alien invasion were masterfully concocted in his revered novels: ‘The Time Machine’ (1895), ‘The War of the Worlds’ (1898), and ‘The Invisible Man’ (1897). In ‘The Time Machine, ‘ Wells concocts a temporal adventure that scrutinizes class disparity and human evolution, whereas ‘The War of the Worlds’ charts the chilling account of Martian aggression against Earth, reflecting the havoc of imperialism and technological warfare. Meanwhile, ‘The Invisible Man’ explores the dark psychological terrains of isolation. These contributions not only furnish the vibrant edifice of English literature but also serve as cornerstones in the edifice of speculative fiction. Wells’s narrative acumen and sociopolitical foresight render him an enduring icon, whose creations continue to echo in contemporary artistic and scholarly discussions.
