About H. G. Wells
H. G. Wells (1866–1946) earned a reputation as “a prophet of his time,” thanks to groundbreaking classics such as The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds. Born into humble beginnings in Kent, England, Wells rose to become one of the most widely read and influential authors of the 20th century. In addition to his many short stories, Wells’s visionary themes continue to resonate, securing his legacy as a pioneer of science fiction and modern thought.
