H.G. Wells
H.G. Wells (1866–1946) was an English writer, often called the father of science fiction, known for his visionary novels exploring technology, society, and the future.
Born in Bromley, England, Wells studied science and biology, which influenced his most famous works, including "The War of the Worlds," "The Time Machine," "The Invisible Man," and "The Island of Doctor Moreau." His stories often explored human nature, scientific ethics, and the consequences of progress.
Beyond fiction, Wells was a historian, social critic, and futurist, advocating for political reform and global cooperation. His influence on science fiction and modern thought remains profound.
