About the Author

H. G. Wells, born Herbert George Wells on September 21, 1866, in Kent, England, and passing on August 13, 1946, was a prolific English writer best known for his works in the science fiction genre, contributing profoundly to its development. His education at the Normal School of Science in London, under the tutelage of T.H. Huxley, provided a foundation that influences the scientific plausibility found in his narratives. Wells utilized literature as a medium for speculative thought, employing his vivid imagination and insights into the human condition to create stories that transcended the ordinary, exploring the potential consequences of scientific and technological progress. This is exemplified in his seminal works such as 'The Time Machine' (1895), 'The War of the Worlds' (1898), and 'The Invisible Man' (1897). Although Wells wrote a myriad of stories, 'The Greatest Science Fiction Novels & Stories by H. G. Wells' encapsulates his mastery in weaving the extraordinary into compelling narratives that captivate readers. His literary style often bends toward a journalistic lucidity, combined with an unwavering dedication to exploring social and political themes through the lens of speculative fiction. Wells's influence extends beyond literature into the realms of social commentary and futurology, earning him the epithet 'The Father of Science Fiction' alongside contemporaries such as Jules Verne. His legacy persists not only through his contributions to literature but also in the way he has inspired generations of writers and thinkers.
