The Invisible Man is a science fiction novel written by H.G. Wells. This bizarre tale was first serialized in Pearson's Weekly in 1897 and later compiled into a single book. It is a story of a brilliant scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and invents a way to change a body's refractive index to that of air so that it neither absorbs nor reflects light and thus becomes invisible. Being invisible, then, works against him. His grandiose dream and the power he unleashes causes him to spiral into intrigue, madness and ultimately leads to his death. Based on scientific theories of optics and physics, this story instantly caught the imagination of readers and has been regularly adapted to films and television since it first made its appearance more than a hundred years ago. H. G. Wells was born in England in 1866. He began writing science fiction stories in 1895 with the publication of The Time Machine, where he proposed the concept of selective time travel. The Time Machine was an instant success and Wells produced a series of science fiction novels which pioneered our ideas of the future. His later work focused on satire and social criticism. Wells was an extremely prolific writer and continues to inspire generations of writers even today. In today's world he is best known as "The Father of Science Fiction"
